Dr. Ralf Lämmel returns for an exploration of folds, aka bananas. This is lecture 5 in his C9 Lecture series covering advanced functional programming topics. Welcome back, Ralf! We're so happy to have you here!
Why bananas, Ralf?
Banana is functional programming slang for "fold"—an application...
It's not often that we can get two minds of Link Removed and Herb Sutter's caliber together for an impromptu technical conversation during Christmas break at Microsoft... Well, we did and the next hour or so contains a lot of intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, and passion. This is one of the more...

We had to cover monads eventually, and there are many great monad tutorials out there (see, for example, here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tutorials#Using_monads). In fact, there are web resources concerned solely with organizing the many monad tutorials available in the wild, and...
In*part*3 of the Advanced Functional Programming lecture series, Dr. Lämmel focuses on the domain of language interpretation as a*method of understanding some important functional programming techniques. As a side effect, some basics of programming language theory are also informally presented...
