How did you decide on pricing (price per course and then the Kickstarter?)? A top-noted resource "Learn You a Haskell" is free (online).
Has the course material been created? Are you the only instructor?
Is your intention to provide more resources on functional programming (in other languages perhaps) considering you've created the "Lambda School" instead of the "Haskell School"?
- xwowsersx 10y agoI don’t want to spend too much time discussing the concerns I have with other resources other than to say that I think the reason LYAH is popular is because it’s free, not so much because it’s the best resource ever created. There's some guess work in terms of pricing, but it reflects what I think we’ll need in order to justify the considerable time investment in putting something together that is really high quality A lot of the material has been created, but it takes a long time and lot of synthesis - a lot of feedback-receiving and iterating from others who are learning Haskell. I am the only instructor who will be speaking/recording videos, but I’m working with several others to fine tune the course. And our intention is to provide a lot more resources, not only on functional programming, but on many elements and aspects of what I consider “advanced computing,” or “ongoing developer education.”
