Learning Haskell Through Google Code Jam
Introduction Over the last year or so, I’ve been playing around with functional programming. As the first few lines of the Wikipedia page suggest, functional programming is all about expressing a computation or algorithm as the composition of functions rather than using a state that changes over time.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - A Review
The Witcher 3 follows the story of Geralt of Rivia, a Witcher or monster slayer in search of his adoptive daugter Cirllia. (well it’s not his story but we see the story through his eyes!).
