Registration and Course Start

Registration takes place via TISS at TISS/185.A05 until Friday, 15 March 2019, 1.00 pm.

The course starts with a preliminary course meeting and the first lecture on Thursday, 7 March 2019, 4.15 p.m. to 5.45 p.m., in the lecture room on the ground floor of the Institutsgeb. located at Argentinierstr. 8.

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.

• Part I: Motivation
  • Why Functional Programming Matters

• Part II: Programming Principles
  • Programming with Streams
  • Programming with Higher-Order Functions
  • Equational Reasoning

• Part III: Quality Assurance
  • Testing
  • Verification

• Part IV: Advanced Language Concepts
  • Functional Arrays
  • Abstract Data Types
  • Monoids
  • Functors
  • Monads
  • Arrows

• Part V: Applications
  • Parsing
  • Logical Programming Functionally
  • Pretty Printing
  • Functional Reactive Programming

• Part VI: Extensions and Prospectives
  • Extensions to Parallelism and Real World Programming
  • Conclusions and Prospectives

Previous Knowledge

Basic knowledge of the functional programming style as imparted e.g. in the course LVA 185.A03 Funktionale Programmierung is mandatory.

Examination and Final Grade

The final grade is composed of the grades of the weekly assignments (50%) and the grade of the final oral examination (50%). The final oral examinations will be by appointment, and will stretch over the programming assignments and the chapters 1 to 11, 13, and 14 of the lecture course. Please make an appointment by e-mail or phone.

Regarding the final oral examination, you can choose this term between two options:

1. Right away (recommended): The oral examination consists of two parts of ca. 20min. each. Part 1: Presenting and discussing your solutions of the programming assignments. Part 2: Oral examination about the topics of the course based on the lecture materials. Group appointments can be made (essentially) any time by email or phone.
2. Postponed: After receipt of the feedback from the evaluation system on your programming assignment submissions, there will be another 3-week period allowing you to make updates to your programming submissions and to resubmit them. After the 3-week period your programming submissions will be evaluated for a second time. Thereafter, group appointments can be made (essentially) any time by email or phone for the final oral examination of ca. 20min. about the topics of the course based on the lecture materials.
