Very Good
A book that has been read and does not look new, but is in excellent condition. No obvious damage to the book cover, with the dust jacket (if applicable) included for hard covers. No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. Some identifying marks on the inside cover, but this is minimal. Very little wear and tear. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.

Synopsis
KEY FEATURES * Full of interesting examples * Easy approach to functional programming basics * Write safe, predictable code with fewer bugs * Lots of illustrations and exercises AUDIENCE Readers should have some experience with JavaScript, Python or Ruby. No functional programming or math skills required., Summary Get Programming with Haskell introduces you to the Haskell language without drowning you in academic jargon and heavy functional programming theory. By working through 43 easy-to-follow lessons, you'll learn Haskell the best possible way--by doing Haskell Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. About the Technology Programming languages often differ only around the edges--a few keywords, libraries, or platform choices. Haskell gives you an entirely new point of view. To the software pioneer Alan Kay, a change in perspective can be worth 80 IQ points and Haskellers agree on the dramatic bene ts of thinking the Haskell way--thinking functionally, with type safety, mathematical certainty, and more. In this hands-on book, that's exactly what you'll learn to do. About the Book Get Programming with Haskell leads you through short lessons, examples, and exercises designed to make Haskell your own. It has crystal-clear illustrations and guided practice. You will write and test dozens of interesting programs and dive into custom Haskell modules. You will gain a new perspective on programming plus the practical ability to use Haskell in the everyday world. (The 80 IQ points: not guaranteed.) What's Inside Thinking in Haskell Functional programming basics Programming in types Real-world applications for Haskell About the Reader Written for readers who know one or more programming languages. About The Author Will Kurt currently works as a data scientist. He writes a blog at www.countbayesie.com, explaining data science to normal people.

It is arguable the mostinteresting language but also has the reputation of being one of themost challenging to learn. Learning Haskell doesn't have to bedifficult, and this book can help! Get Programming with Haskell introduces you to the Haskell languagewithout drowning you in academic jargon and heavy functionalprogramming theory. By working through 43 easy-to-follow lessons,you'll learn Haskell by doing Haskell. This book starts with firstconcepts, building your knowledge with concrete examples andexercises. You'll learn to think the Haskell way, as you start tounderstand the language and how to use it effectively. And you'll reallyappreciate the crystal-clear illustrations, quick-checks, and open-endedtasks that make sure you're solid on each new concept before you movealong!

No functional programming or math skills required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGYHaskell is a purely functional programming language. It treats programs asmuch like math as you can, requires you to think more than you type, andcan express the idea of infinite lists in code!

With aformal background in both Computer Science (MS) and English Literature(BA) he is fascinated with explaining complex technical topics as clearlyand generally as possible.

Highly Recommended!, Thank you very much!
- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
