A symposium in honour of Professor Richard Bird's 60th birthday

The Fun of Programming edited by Jeremy Gibbons and Oege de Moor.
The symposium will coincide with the publication by Palgrave of this eponymous book. It is intended as much as a textbook for an advanced course in functional programming as it is a festschrift; its twelve chapters cover applications (pretty printing, musical composition, hardware description, graphical design) and techniques (the design of efficient data structures, interpreters for little languages, program testing and optimization) in functional programming.
