If you prefer to build from source, be sure to check out the v0.6.9.5 tag of the purescript compiler repository. The code will not build using master.
Make sure psc and psc-make are on your PATH.
Install Node and the NPM package manager
Install the pulp command line tool (npm install -g pulp)

Why PureScript?
@jdegoes
10 minutes
Abstract
In this introductory talk, John A. De Goes talks about reasons why you should (or should not) choose PureScript for a new project, and gives a demo of SlamData, a rich web application built in PureScript (and quite possibly the largest PureScript application ever developed).
Crash Course in PureScript
@puffnfresh
1 hour
Abstract
An introduction to PureScript, describing the core principles and features:
Algebraic data types
Type-classes
Rank-N types
Records
FFI
Effects
Tooling
An assumption is made that you're familiar with functional programming. A version of the presentation without that assumption will be given at BoulderJS on Wednesday the 20th (the day before PureScript Conf).
Principled, Painless Asynchronous Programming in PureScript
@jdegoes
1 hour
Abstract
Asynchronous programming in the browser or node.js is painful, and error-prone! Promises/A+ "promises" to make that better, but the complexity of the numerous ad hoc specifications ensure plenty of confusion, corner cases, and tangled, incomprehensible code. Fortunately, the PureScript language provides us everything we need to make asynchronous programming sound, comprehensible, type-safe, and easy! In this talk, John A. De Goes reviews the purescript-aff library and ecosystem, highlighting the power of the library, and showing that asynchronous programming can be just as easy — no, easier! — than synchronous programming. Only a basic knowledge of PureScript is assumed, so this talk can be considered a continuation of earlier presentations.
purescript-halogen is a new library for developing reactive front-end web applications in PureScript. I will give a brief overview of the ideas behind the library, and we will work through the creation of a simple application from scratch. Bring a laptop!
Making code reliable in JavaScript is a nightmare. Learn how property testing and PureScript can help provide better tests with greater coverage of the problem space. Walking through options available in JavaScript, translating Unit Tests to Property Tests. Closing with examples of Property Tests in PureScript, demonstrating how QuickCheck and PureScript can help you produce better code over Unit Tests and JavaScript.
Making Sense of Project Build & Dependency Management
@alex_berg
30 minutes
Abstract
Things go smoothly when you do as the book instructs, but when you try to do something interesting, the compiler says, "Can't find module". Why can't it find my stuff? In this talk, we'll look at the recommended build tools, discuss what they do, and compare them to similar tools. Project dependency management will also be discussed, as build tools often need to know how it works.
The Future of PureScript (Discussion)
@paf31
1 hour
Let's discuss the current state of PureScript, and the changes we want to see in the future. Come and tell us about the features you want to see at PureScript Conf 2016!
New backends (C++11, Lua, Python, PHP, JVM, ...)
Optimizations and rewrite rules
PureScript's killer applications
Call for Speakers
Anyone who would like to present a topic related to PureScript development is more than welcome to do so. Any level of experience is appropriate, although we would like to encourage speakers to prepare something appropriate for a beginner-level audience. If you have a topic, please add the title and a brief description above.
