Book Description

This book takes a no-prerequisites approach to teaching a modern general-purpose programming language. Each small, self-contained chapter introduces a new topic, building until the reader can write quite substantial programs. There are plenty of questions and, crucially, worked answers and hints.

It will appeal both to new programmers, and experienced programmers eager to explore functional languages such as OCaml. It is suitable both for formal use within an undergraduate or graduate curriculum, and for the interested amateur.

• John Whitington founded a company which sells software for document processing. He taught programming to students of Computer Science at the University of Cambridge.

• Real World OCaml: Functional Programming for the Masses

  This fast-moving tutorial introduces you to OCaml, an industrial-strength programming language designed for expressiveness, safety, and speed. Learn witing fast, succinct, and readable systems code using functional programming.

• Architecture of Advanced Numerical Analysis Systems in OCaml

  This unique open access book applies the functional OCaml programming language to numerical or computational weighted data science, engineering, and scientific applications. It's based on Owl, an OCaml-based numerical computing library.

• OCaml Programming: Correct + Efficient + Beautiful

  A textbook on functional programming and data structures in OCaml, with an emphasis on semantics and software engineering. Takes a meandering tour of functional programming with OCaml, introducing various language features.

• Functional Programming in OCaml (Michael R. Clarkson, et al.)

  This book is a multi-dimensional presentation of the OCaml language that combines an informal and intuitive approach to the language with a rigorous definition and a formal semantics of a large subset of the language, including ML.

• Think OCaml: How to Think Like a Computer Scientist

  This book is an introductory functional programming textbook based on the OCaml language. It is intended for newcomers who know some programming but want to learn programming in the function-oriented paradigm, or just want to learn OCaml.

• Unix System Programming in OCaml (Xavier Leroy, et al)

  This book is an introductory course on Unix system programming, with an emphasis on communications between processes, using OCaml. This gives an unusual perspective on systems programming and on the ML language.

• Introduction to Objective Caml Programming Language

  This book presents a practical introduction and guide to the language, with topics ranging from how to write a program to the concepts and conventions that affect how affect how programs are developed in OCaml.

• O'Reilly® Developing Applications with Objective Caml

  This book covers not only the core language, but also modules, objects and classes, threads and systems programming, and interoperability with C. Sporting features such as a robust object system, type safety, and an expansive standard library.

• Using, Understanding, and Unraveling The OCaml Language

  This book is a multi-dimensional presentation of the OCaml language that combines an informal and intuitive approach to the language with a rigorous definition and a formal semantics of a large subset of the language, including ML.
