[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

For today's Blockchain platforms, especially Cardano, developers are one of the most important roles helping to develop decentralized applications on Cardano.

Vietnam is one of the countries with a very large number of developers. But English is one of the huge barriers for developers in Vietnam. Vietnam scored 486/800 points, ranking 66/112 countries and territories on the adult English proficiency index.

Developers in Vietnam have very limited access to Blockchain and Smart Contract documents. This prevents Cardano's number of developers from growing in Vietnam. Besides, Cardano's Smart Contract is also built on one of the rarest programming languages in Vietnam, Haskell.

At fund 8 and fund 9 we completed the translation of the book Real World Haskell (2008, O'Reilly Media) and "Learn You A Haskell" into Vietnamese and shared it with the developer communities in Vietnam (You can download this book here: https://bit.ly/Real-World-Haskell and https://bit.ly/Learn-You-A-Haskell-Vietnamese). But the book Real World Haskell is a book about practical applications of Haskell and Learn You A Haskell is a beginner's book. The developers need a book about practical projects. It will help them build real project in the future

So we are going to translate the book "Practical Haskell" (A Real-World Guide to Functional Programming) into Vietnamese and share it to developer communities in Vietnam. This book will help more people know how to make projects by Haskell and then they can build products on Cardano

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Creating multilingual Haskell documents, especially Vietnamese, is one of the first necessary steps to help developers in Vietnam easily access to building projects on Cardano.

Haskell is an uncommon programming language in Vietnam and there is very little documentation on Haskell in Vietnamese.

Therefore, this proposal will help to develop "Number of developers actively building on top of Cardano"

After completing the translation of the book "Practical Haskell" (A Real-World Guide to Functional Programming). We will be bringing this document along with other Haskell documents that we have translated previously to the developer communities interested in blockchain in Vietnam. We will share about Cardano's Blockchain technology and the superiority of programming with Haskell on Cardano

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

We will measure how many people download this book to use. Here are the number of people who have downloaded and used the Haskell books we translated at fund 8.

The more people download this book, the more people learn about Haskell => More developers can code on Haskell => Increasing the number of developers building projects on Cardano.

[IMPACT] Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?

We are administrators of

A Facebook group with 5,700 members: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ada.holder

A Facebook group with 46,500 members: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cardanoviet

A Telegram group with more than 500 members: https://t.me/ADA_VIET

And a telegram group learning Haskell: https://t.me/FimiDev

We will share this book to our communities (More than 50.000 people) when we finish translating this book.

And then we share this book to developer's communities in Vietnam too

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

We have 4 funding proposals in fund 8 and 9 and all of those proposals were successfully completed

• Haskell Book Vietnamese Translation: https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/62683. Link download: https://bit.ly/Real-World-Haskell
• Haskell Book Vietnamese Translation: https://cardano.ideascale.com/c/idea/63881. Link download: https://bit.ly/Learn-You-A-Haskell-Vietnamese

We are one of the greatest team in Developer Ecosystem Challenge in fund 8 & 9

So we can completely make this proposal success

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What are the main goals for the project and how will you validate if your approach is feasible?

We will complete the translation of the book "Practical Haskell" (A Real-World Guide to Functional Programming) - 600 pages in 2 months. The book Real World Haskell (650 pages) and Learn You A Haskell (400 pages) we only needed 1 month to complete the translation. So 2 months to do the translation is feasible.

Then we will share this book with developer communities in Vietnam. Our goal is to reach 1,000 downloads in the next 2 months. We have also achieved this goal in the previous two books, so it is completely achievable

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed breakdown of your project’s milestones and each of the main tasks or activities to reach the milestone plus the expected timeline for the delivery.

Milestone 1 (2 months): We will translate the entire book "Practical Haskell" (A Real-World Guide to Functional Programming) into Vietnamese (600 pages)

Milestone 2 (2 months): We will share this book to our communities and developer's communities in Viet Nam. Target: 1,000 downloads

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] Please describe the deliverables, outputs and intended outcomes of each milestone.

Milestone 1 (2 months): We will upload the book after translating on Google Drive. So everyone can download it and read it

Milestone 2 (2 months): We will check number of people click on our link to know how many people have downloaded this book.

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown of the proposed work and resources.

Translation cost: 30 ADA/ page

Total pages: 600

Total: 18,000 ADA

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

With a budget of around 18,000 ADA (~$4,500), we can bring in at least 1,000 people who want to learn Haskell and become developers on Cardano. Because we are managing communities that are interested in Cardano, the percentage of people who learn Haskell through this book and become developers on Cardano is very high.

Besides, creating multilingual Haskell documents is a great way to help many non-English speaking developers to access Haskell and become developers building projects on Cardano in the future.

[IMPORTANT NOTE] The Applicant agreed to Fund10 rules and also that data in the Submission Form and other data provided by the project team during the course of the project will be publicly available.
