Get Programming with Haskell
Will Kurt is currently employed at Quick Sprout as a Data Scientist. He is fascinated by explaining complex technical topics as clearly and broadly as possible, having a formal background in both Computer Science (MS) and English Literature (BA). He has taught a Haskell course section and given Functional Programming workshops at the University of Nevada, Reno. He also writes about probability on his blog, CountBayesie.com.
Get Programming with Haskell introduces you to the Haskell programming language without drowning you in academic jargon or complex functional programming theory. Working through 43 simple lessons, you'll learn Haskell the best way possible—by doing Haskell!
Programming languages frequently differ only on the margins—a few keywords, libraries, or platform options. Haskell provides you with an entirely new perspective. A change in perspective, according to software pioneer Alan Kay, can be worth 80 IQ points, and Haskellers agree on the dramatic benefits of thinking the Haskell way—thinking functionally, with type safety, mathematical certainty, and more. That's exactly what you'll learn to do in this hands-on book.
Among the best books on functional programming, Get Programming with Haskell guides you through a series of short lessons, examples, and exercises designed to help you become familiar with Haskell. It includes clear illustrations as well as guided practice. You will write and test dozens of interesting programs as well as explore custom Haskell modules. You will gain a new perspective on programming as well as the practical ability to use Haskell in your daily life.
