Building a Blogging System with Haskell and Yesod - Part 1 of 6

on YouTube ↗59m

" summary

Part one of a six‑part workshop shows building the core of a blogging system: Haskell with the Yesod web framework, using Warp/dev server, Template Haskell and Shakespearean templates to get type‑safe routing and HTML generation, backing data in a persistent database, and scaffolding post authoring, user login/authorization, commenting and a JSON API. The session actually constructs initial routes and handlers and demonstrates those pieces compiling and serving pages.
