RMIT Building 80

Rooms: 80.03.06, 80.04.11 and 80.04.19.

As is standard practice with unconferences, topics to be decided on the day. However, if you wish to let the committee know that you are planning to announce an unconference talk on the day then we would be happy to hear from you so that we can get a feel for what people are offering on the second day!

Although the second day is a largely-unstructured event, if you wish to run a workshop then please get in touch with the committee to let them know so that they can advertise that your work will be there for others. Also, if your workshop requires more than spontaneous organisation then getting in touch is a must!

Building a Basic Haskell Web-Service in Servant

Time	1:45pm
Room	80.04.11

The goal for this workshop is for all attendees to have a working CRUD webservice connecting to a database that they can then extend. Depending on time limits, we can then discuss changing databases, adding additional endpoints and return types, and adding unit testing.

We will use the Servant framework. The database connection will be to SQLite, avoiding a more complicated setup. Therefore the only dependencies should be stack and some development libraries.

Estimated time is around 2 hours. Attendees will need a laptop with Stack installed and an editor setup and running.

I will take a step by step approach, introducing the tasks and their motivations, and then leaving attendees to complete the steps, pausing to help anyone who falls behind.

Pre-Requisites

The intended audience will be people who have learnt a little bit of Haskell (they are familiar with the syntax) but are interested in working through the ins-and-outs of building a web service, e.g. transformer-stacks, database-connections, authentication, etc.

Attendees will need a laptop with stack installed and an editor setup and running. They should also follow the instructions online to ensure that they have already downloaded and compiled all the necessary dependencies as this could be challenging on site. Briefly:

• Install the Stack tool and ensure that it is in your $PATH.
• You should have a Haskell editor setup. Atom or something more adventurous (E.g. The one and true editor, Spacemacs)
• Clone https://github.com/khanage/servant-workshop to a handy directory.
• Run stack build and stack test
• Then run stack install yesod-bin

Git Internals Workshop

Time	10:30am
Room	80.04.11

Vaibhav will be presenting a talk followed by a workshop on the internals of Git.

Let's walk through a Git repository together and implement a Git of our own one step at a time.

See the related blog-post: I Haskell a Git!

Pre-Requisites

• Basic competence with using Git and knowledge of Haskell and/or Python 3
• Have stack and python3 installed
• Nix is nice but not required
