August web overview

Here’s another quick overview of interesting links I found on the web:

I consider design patterns to be one of the most important skill when programming in object-oriented languages. When I started with Haskell I started asking myself what are the design patterns in functional programming? It seems that I’ve found an answer: a blog written by Jeremy Gibbons. While it seems to be inactive for many months now, the good news is that professor Gibbons is preparing a book on Patterns in Functional Programming.
Speaking of patterns, here’s a short presentation on Haskell Performance Patterns.
A while ago I posted a link to thread on Stack Overflow about stages of learning Haskell. If that’s not enough to measure your progress then “The Evolution of a Haskell Programmer” might be more helpful.
An event called “Haskell eXchange” will be held in London on October 10th. There will be talks given by Simon Peyton Jones and Simon Marlow. Here’s more info if you’re interested.
In November 2011 id Software released source code of Doom 3. While I’m always interested in such stuff, I find it a bit to difficult to dig into the code on my own. Luckily, there’s a good overview of the source code available. Now it’s much easier to benefit from knowledge and experience of id Software.
