CIS 194 materials now on github

I’ve been meaning for a while to put the source files for my CIS 194 materials in a publically accessible place, and I’ve finally gotten around to it: you can now find everything in byorgey/haskell-course on github.

I make no particular guarantees about anything; e.g. there is a crufty, complicated shake script that builds everything, but it probably doesn’t even compile with the latest version of Shake.

There are some obvious next steps, for which I have not the time:

  1. Get everything building again
  2. Fix any outstanding typos, confusions, etc.
  3. Update it to be more specifically for general-audience learning rather than for a course at Penn
  4. Find a permanent web home for the material. It’s sort of a happy accident that it has been accessible on the Penn site for so long, but it’s not a stable situation; I don’t even know who would have access to that site anymore.
