New Course Bundle!
This whole month, I've been writing about some of the basics of using monads in Haskell. This often misunderstood concept is very important for putting together more sophisticated Haskell programs. In my series on Monads and Functional Structures I discuss monads more from the ground up and go into a lot more depth about different ways to use monads.
But last year, I released two great new ways to learn about monads! If you head over to the Monday Morning Haskell Academy, you'll find two courses that are specifically geared towards this tricky concept!
First, there is Making Sense of Monads. If monads have always confused you and you don't even know where to start, start here! This beginner-level course starts from the ground up, similar to the monads series. But it goes into even more depth, offering lots of slides to clarify concepts, and providing you with the opportunity to practice your skills with dozens of exercises and two different mini-projects!
If you think you've got the basics down, you can try something more advanced with our Effectful Haskell course. This goes into way more depth about how we can actually use monads in a real application. It will teach you several different ways of representing and organizing side effects in your Haskell program, including the idea of Free Monads! By the end of this course, you'll have built your own simple web server and learned to host it on Heroku! This project can serve as an example for many more complicated ideas. If you know the basics of monads already, but want to know how they actually help you build a real program, this is the course for you!
Now perhaps both of these ideas sound appealing to you. For the first time, we're offering our Effects Bundle, which combines both of these courses! If you get them together, you'll save almost 30%!
Speaking of discounts, you can also get 20% off all our courses if you subscribe to our monthly newsletter! Subscribing always gives you access to our Subscriber Resources, but this week it will also get you a discount code on anything on Monday Morning Haskell Academy. This includes an additional discount on the the above-mentioned Effects Bundle. It also includes the newly re-opened Haskell Brain course, which will introduce you to the basics of using machine learning in Haskell! If you missed out on this course back in the winter, now's your chance to get started!
The sale will last for a week! So make sure you sign up and get those discounts before 11:59PM PST (GMT-07) next Monday, April 4th! Don't miss out!
