Overview

This training has been designed by the OCamlPro team to enable developers to use more advanced features of OCaml powerful type-system, benefit from all the open-source tools and libraries, and to write compact and efficient code.

The course is half theory, half practice. Participants will have to write and adapt simple applications in OCaml, to build and test them.

Objectives

  • Understand advanced features of the type-system
  • Interface OCaml with its environment
  • Understand the OCaml garbage collector
  • Write efficient code in OCaml

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of the OCaml language and its programming environment
  • A computer access (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows). An easy-to-install OCaml archive will be provided before the course to setup a minimal but productive environment.
