+TITLE: IndiaFOSS 2023 OCaml Workshop

This repo contains exercises and build instructions to help you get started developing in OCaml.

• Installing build tools and libraries See [[https://github.com/ocamllabs/install-ocaml/blob/master/README.org][README.org in install-ocaml]] for instructions.

• Exercises The [[file:02-exercises][exercises]] directory contains a number of exercises to get you started with OCaml. Each one has some expect-tests embedded in it. The workflow is:

  +BEGIN_SRC bash

  cd 02-exercises/$problem_dir

  dune runtest # builds and runs inline tests

  Look at test output and compiler errors, edit problem.ml, rerun:

  dune runtest

  +END_SRC

• Github Now you're done with the exercises, dive into monads and implement a part of GitHub's own =hub= CLI, using the github library from MirageOS.

  See the [[file:03-github][github README]] to get started!

• Frogger Now you will implement a simplified clone of the classic arcade game Frogger.

  See the [[file:04-frogger][frogger README]] to get started!
