Call for submissions: Monad.Reader issue 15

I’m excited to be taking over the editorship of the Monad.Reader. I’ll be putting together Issue 15 in January—the deadline for submissions will be January 8, 2010. Please consider writing something! You don’t need to be an expert; past articles have included things like tutorials, book reviews, new ideas, beginner perspectives, illustrations of nifty code, explanations of a new library or piece of software… Collaboration is encouraged, too. Have a great idea for an article but not sure you could pull it off for one reason or another? Send an email to haskell-cafe@haskell.org asking for a coauthor. Writing an article is a great way to learn and to create a high-quality resource for others learning FP.

If you plan to write something—or are considering it—let me know. Submission guidelines can be found on the Monad.Reader website.

Monad.Reader article (Multiset partitions)

I imagine that most who read this blog have already seen it, but for those who haven’t, my article Generating Multiset Partitions has been published in Issue #8 of The Monad.Reader.  In it, I discuss the problem of generating multiset partitions in a functional context, and give an implementation in Haskell.  The final published version contains many major improvements over the draft version I posted here a while ago; give it a read and let me know what you think if you’re interested!
