Real World Haskell
This easy-to-use, fast-moving tutorial introduces you to
functional programming with Haskell. Learn how to use
Haskell in a variety of practical ways, whether it's for
short, script-like programs or large and demanding
applications. Written for experienced programmers, Real
World Haskell takes you through the basics of functional
programming
at a brisk pace, and helps you increase your
understanding of Haskell in real-world issues like I/O,
performance, dealing with data, concurrency, and more as you
move through each chapter.
With this book, you will:
Understand the difference between procedural and functional
programming
Learn about Haskell's compiler, interpreter, values, simple
functions, and types
Find your way around Haskell's library -- and write your own
Use monads to express I/O operations and changes in state
Interact with databases, parse files and data, and handle
errors
Discover how to use Haskell for systems programming
Learn concurrency and parallel programming with Haskell
You'll find plenty of hands-on exercises, along with
examples of real Haskell programs that you can modify,
compile, and run. If you've never used a functional language
before, and want to understand why Haskell is now coming
into its own as a practical language in so many major
organizations, Real World Haskell is the place to start.
