This is your AHA! Haskell Moment
This study group will cover several chapters of the Haskell Data Analysis Cookbook during Spring 2015. You'll need a copy of the book (members of the NY Haskell group can access a copy from the files section). The most recent code examples from the book can be found at the author's GitHub Repo https://github.com/BinRoot/Haskell-Data-Analysis-Cookbook.
Spring 2015 Schedule
Please come to each session prepared, with working version of GHC 7.6+ installed and a text editor of choice. Our intention is to have participants go through the selected chapters themselves and work through the code exercises and bring the finished examples to the study group for discussion. That said, you will need to bring your laptop to the study group.

#How to use
- Clone author's code examples https://github.com/BinRoot/Haskell-Data-Analysis-Cookbook
- Copy the scripts into the root of Haskell-Data-Analysis-Cookbook
- If you're on GHC 7.8 run the ghc78.sh script and then
./build.sh. If you're on ghc7.6 proceed directly to running the build script. - Now you can run the executables from each code directory. The source code is in Main.hs of each directory, as the author states in his README files.
