Oxford University
The Software Engineering Programme at the University of Oxford is a centre for advanced education and applied research. Established in 1993, the Programme exists to make strong connections between theory and practice in software engineering, between leading researchers and practitioners, and to make the expertise of the University available to those who wish to study while continuing in full-time employment.
The Programme offers short courses in about 40 different subjects. Each course is delivered by an expert in the subject, and includes an intense teaching week of classes, practicals, and group work; class sizes are kept small to facilitate interaction and to promote effective learning.
The courses may be used as credit towards an MSc in Software Engineering or in Software and Systems Security from the University of Oxford. Applications are welcome from anyone with an appropriate combination of academic achievement and industrial experience.

What Haskell can learn from Scala
Featuring Lars Hupel and Miles Sabin
The opinions about Scala in the Haskell community differ widely. Most will immediately point out reasons why they think Scala is complex and that Haskell is so much better. But is it really? In this talk, we will take a radically different approach: We will outline what Haskell can learn from...

Workshop: Haskell’s ultimate challenge: Game programming for Fun and Profit - Part 2
Featuring Ivan Perez
Idealised versions of board and simple arcade games render beautiful snippets of Haskell code. But real games need to deal with user input and output, animation, sound, asset management, UI plasticity, graphics acceleration, concurrency and networking, all of which involve the outside world and...

Transformers, Handlers in Disguise
Featuring Nicolas Wu
Effect handlers have recently been proposed as a new means of working with compositional effects, and threaten to replace monad transformers. Their key advantage is a cleaner way of expressing semantics since they are defined in terms of algebras. An often misunderstood aspect is how they compare...

Programming with Universal Properties
Featuring Gershom Bazerman
Often, categorists will speak about "universal properties" when discussing basic constructions. Understanding what these are can be one of the more confusing aspects of coming to terms with category theory. But it turns out that there is one weird trick that lets us take universal...
