Hi SIlvio,


The Agda wiki seems to have a couple of introductory papers on Agda from Ulf Norell ,Peter Dybjer, Ana Bove and others (http://wiki.portal.chalmers.se/agda/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Othertutorials). It should also be worth to look at Ulf Norell's PhD thesis to get some background behind Agda. 

In addition, it is worth looking at a couple of reasoning courses based on Agda. Thorsten Alternkirch has given such a course in Nottingham (http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~txa/g53cfr/) and there is also Conor McBride's course with video lectures given in Edinburgh (http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/s0894694/agda-course/).

You should also be able to find interesting details about dependently typed programming from numerous Epigram papers (e.g. Why Dependent Types Matter by Alternkirch and McBride). More details and background can be found if the references from these papers are followed.


Best regards,
Danel Ahman
