false 3226758 2 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, <em>Real World Haskell</em> 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.<br /> <br /> With this book, you will: <ul> <li>Understand the difference between procedural and functional programming</li> <li>Learn about Haskell's compiler, interpreter, values, simple functions, and types</li> <li>Find your way around Haskell's library -- and write your own</li> <li>Use monads to express I/O operations and changes in state</li> <li>Interact with databases, parse files and data, and handle errors</li> <li>Discover how to use Haskell for systems programming</li> <li>Learn concurrency and parallel programming with Haskell</li> </ul> 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, <em>Real World Haskell</em> is the place to start. 3260935 book 15 10 2008 Real World Haskell total:16|5:11|4:4|3:0|2:1|1:0| 16 73 72 2 4 0 false false Thu Oct 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 11:32:55 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 13:03:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 2 true false Sat Dec 27 14:44:42 -0800 2008 Sun Jul 20 09:16:29 -0700 2008 Sat Dec 27 14:44:42 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 01:40:54 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 01:40:54 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Nov 18 12:55:37 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 12:55:37 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Nov 09 19:52:51 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 19:53:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 21:55:19 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 21:55:21 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Oct 08 10:38:48 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 10:38:48 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Oct 07 08:07:12 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 08:18:09 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 02 23:03:04 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 23:03:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 25 21:55:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 25 21:55:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 06 21:52:40 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 18:46:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 13:38:27 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 05:14:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 01 06:53:24 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 11:51:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 30 11:50:40 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 11:50:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 27 22:22:37 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 22:23:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 21 23:27:34 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 09:26:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 12:51:43 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 12:52:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 12:13:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 12:13:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 07 20:08:51 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 20:08:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 01 07:18:47 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 07:18:58 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3226758
