AFAIK Barry Jay teaches Ocaml for FP at University of Technology, Sydney (in Oz). The text book isn't Ocaml though .. I mean there isn't one in English other than the online translation of the French O'Reilly one. I also had two Ocaml jobs in Australia, one with Barry at UTS, where I learned it, and an industrial one where I specified it myself, and then used it (the company was a telco, the use was for a language translator for telco service logic, which has inspired my open source language Felix) Two jobs in a row being paid to write Ocaml by an employer is not bad.. I wish I could get another one :) -- John Skaller, mailto:skaller@users.sf.net voice: 061-2-9660-0850, snail: PO BOX 401 Glebe NSW 2037 Australia Checkout the Felix programming language http://felix.sf.net
