I am look for **slides** for an **introduction to OCaml** to present in a lecture to my **compiler** construction undergraduates students.

In the course they are supposed to complete parts of a compiler for a toy language in OCaml. But they have not programmed in OCaml before. They have been using mainly C, C++ and Java.

There is a MOOC from Université Paris Diderot: Introduction to Functional Programming in OCaml  
They have very good slides about Ocaml.

Or do you look rather for a short Slide deck?

Then this might be interesting:

They look very good indeed, although they seem to extensive for use in the scheduled time for the OCaml introduction lectures.

Can I host copies of the PDF files at my course page?

I will take a look at this too.

They are in German but this is the newest version of the [slides that introduced me to OCaml](http://www2.in.tum.de/hp/Main?nid=354) nearly a decade ago. Search for “folien.pdf”, the functional programming/OCaml part starts at page 133.
