Introduction to FP with Haskell Broadly speaking, functional programming is a style of programming in which the primary method of computation is the application of functions to arguments. Among other features, functional languages offer a compact notation for writing programs, powerful abstraction methods for structuring programs, and a simple mathematical basis that supports reasoning about programs. Functional languages represent the leading edge of programming language design, and the primary setting in which new programming concepts are introduced and studied. All contemporary programming languages such as Hack/PHP, C#, Visual Basic, F#, C++, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Java, Scala, Clojure, Groovy, Racket, … support higher-order programming via the concept of closures or lambda expressions.

Vamonos: Dynamic algorithm visualization in the browser Vamonos is a library for generating browser-based visualizations of algorithms & data structures. Here are some reasons why we think Vamonos is great: No installation barrier. Here is a Vamonos visualization of the selection sort algorithm. We have developed pre-made visualizations of many common algorithms. The latest version of Vamonos is v2.1.0. Past releases, source code, and everything else is available on our github project page. Educators wishing to write their own visualizations in Vamonos should start with our User’s Guide: More detailed information can be found in our API reference: API Reference Vamonos is developed in the EECS department of Oregon State University. The name “Vamonos” doesn’t really have to be an acronym, but if it were, its expansion would be Visualizing Algorithms from Montana and Oregon State. Vamonos is developed with support from NSF award #1149647. The Vamonos project team: Vamonos is distributed under the MIT license.

VisuAlgo - visualising data structures and algorithms through animation Functional Programming Principles in Scala About this course: Functional programming is becoming increasingly widespread in industry. This trend is driven by the adoption of Scala as the main programming language for many applications. Scala fuses functional and object-oriented programming in a practical package. It interoperates seamlessly with both Java and Javascript. Functional Program Design in Scala About this course: In this course you will learn how to apply the functional programming style in the design of larger applications. You'll get to know important new functional programming concepts, from lazy evaluation to structuring your libraries using monads. We'll work on larger and more involved examples, from state space exploration to random testing to discrete circuit simulators.

Parallel programming with Scala About this course: With every smartphone and computer now boasting multiple processors, the use of functional ideas to facilitate parallel programming is becoming increasingly widespread. In this course, you'll learn the fundamentals of parallel programming, from task parallelism to data parallelism. In particular, you'll see how many familiar ideas from functional programming map perfectly to to the data parallel paradigm. We'll start the nuts and bolts how to effectively parallelize familiar collections operations, and we'll build up to parallel collections, a production-ready data parallel collections library available in the Scala standard library. Throughout, we'll apply these concepts through several hands-on examples that analyze real-world data, such as popular algorithms like k-means clustering. Learning Outcomes.
