[Noisebridge-discuss] [Haschool] More remarks about monads.

[Jason Dusek]

  I've put up some more notes about monads, focused on Haskell.
  Of course, I will cover this material in class; these notes
  are as much for my benefit as anyone else's.

  The Catsters, on YouTube, have a number of videos on category
  theoretic topics; their video on monads is a succinct
  introduction to the category theoretic perspective. Please
  watch it before tomorrow's class; it's ten minutes and
  presents the terminology, notation and an example in a
  succinct and completely classical manner. Perhaps it will be
  completely baffling; that is not the most unnatural reaction
  to one's first encounter with category theory.

  We'll give only about twenty minutes of class to the
  categorical material (making it your *second* encounter with
  category theory!). What's important in this introductory class
  is to appreciate the deep relationship between category
  theory, type systems and modern functional programming.
