Book Description

This easy-to-use, fast-moving tutorial introduces you to functional programming with Haskell. You'll learn how to use Haskell in a variety of practical ways, from short scripts to large and demanding applications. Real World Haskell takes you through the basics of functional programming at a brisk pace, and then 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 differences between procedural and functional programming
• Learn the features of Haskell, and how to use it to develop useful programs
• Interact with filesystems, databases, and network services
• Write solid code with automated tests, code coverage, and error handling

Harness the power of multicore systems via concurrent and parallel programming You'll find plenty of hands-on exercises, along with examples of real Haskell programs that you can modify, compile, and run. Whether or not you've used a functional language before, if you want to understand why Haskell is coming into its own as a practical language in so many major organizations, Real World Haskell is the best place to start.

• Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming (Simon Thompson)

  This book is essential reading for beginners to functional programming and newcomers to the Haskell programming language. The emphasis is on the process of crafting programs and the text contains many examples and running case studies, etc.

• Haskell (Wikibooks)

  This book leads you through short lessons, examples, and exercises designed to make Haskell your own. It also explores the important language features and programming skills you'll need to build production-quality software using Haskell.

• Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! (Miran Lipovaca)

  Packed with the author's original artwork, pop culture references, and most importantly, useful example code, this book teaches functional fundamentals in a way you never thought possible.

• O'Reilly® Developing Web Applications with Haskell and Yesod

  This book is a fast-moving guide to web application development with Haskell and Yesod, a potent language/framework combination that supports high-performing applications that are modular, type-safe, and concise.

• The Haskell School of Music - From Signals to Symphonies

  This book explores the fundamentals of computer music and functional programming through the Haskell programming language. It explores common paradigms used in algorithmic music composition, such as stochastic generation, musical grammars, etc.

• O'Reilly® Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell

  This hands-on book shows you how to use the language’s many APIs and frameworks for writing both parallel and concurrent programs. You'll learn how parallelism exploits multicore processors to speed up computation-heavy programs.
