Been a minute since I hosted a stream as I've been on vacation. Most recently, we were streaming Saturday mornings but will now be doing every Wednesday at 5 pm in the hopes this will work better for anyone in whichever timezone who'd like to watch.

We've done a number of very focused sessions however I just want this session to be a really fun one so we are going back to Servant, the first library I learned about in haskell and we are going to build a simple authenticated CRUD API to store and retrieve nicknames.

The core focus of our sessions are how to interact with the haskell ecosystem as it is a truly unique language with respect to documentation, both by having little traditional documentation style but also by being a self documenting language and all that means for getting shit done with haskell as a real world language. We also really seek to cater to our audience so if you have questions about Servant or haskell in general, please consider the stream a help session.

We do try to naturally progress the stream to being a more thorough implementation by the end so that if time permits, we will attempt to swap Servant into my Jenga framework.
