PLATYPUS^* is a study group meeting weekly in Sydney, Australia for people interested in learning more about type theory and its connections to programming languages.

Meetup Sydney Type Theory

All are welcome!

Inspired by the online Type Theory Study Group 2015.

* Programming Languages and Types (yet perfectly understandable) in Sydney — thanks to Danny Gratzer for the name suggestion.

We meet on Monday lunchtimes from 12:30 to 2:00 pm.

Venue is the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, 255 Pitt Street Sydney.

Please RSVP via the Meetup page for catering purposes (and let us know if you have any particular dietary requirements).

During 2015 and 2016 we read Bob Harper's Practical Foundations of Programming Languages, 2nd Edition.

In 2017 we're reading Simon Thompson's Type Theory and Functional Programming.
