Subject and Aim

The course is concerned with advanced concepts and principles of functional programming and their applications, which the participants shall learn and conceive in depth and to use and apply competently and adequately in known as well as in new application scenarios. The lecture part of the course stretches from functional programming principles to quality assurance, advanced languages concepts, and applications. Regularly assigned exercises of the tutorial part of the course give an hands-on experience of applying the concepts and principles to problems of suitable kind, size and complexity to deepen their understanding in theory and practice.
