[Canceled] Halogen -- PureScript's saltiest web framework

    The web-development framework Halogen is something of a sphinx.It's a despotic stickler for the rules, and it will not tolerate poorly organized code. And yet, Halogen is also a breezy free spirit; "you do you," it insists, as it gives developers free rein over nearly all project architectural decisions.In this inaugural session of the Stark County FP w/ PS group, we'll be introduced to the PureScript language by looking at and running a concept-packed example application done with ... Halogen.https://github.com/gothinkster/realworldhttps://github.com/thomashoneyman/purescript-halogen-realworldBecause some attendees may not yet be acquainted with PureScript, the focus of our first event will be practical. We'll learn how to start and compile projects and find dependencies, and we'll encounter some of PureScript's more idiomatic ways of doing things, its syntax, and its nuanced type system.However, along the way, we'll also get a taste of Halogen, one the PureScript community's most popular UI frameworks, and see how its component-based approach -- along with its masterful use of the language's type system -- accomplishes the paradoxical: simultaneous structure and autonomy.Prerequisites:A laptop and a beginner level of familiarity with types and web applications would be helpful.Schedule:6:00: Come on in, say hi, and enjoy some TBD foodstuffs.6:30: The presentation and exercises begin.Parking:Meter-free parking is available on 3rd and 4th Streets.However, metered parking is also widely available and is free after 4:00 p.m.
