This is the free online version of the book “Real World Haskell”, published by O’Reilly Media.
Book Description
Haskell is a free, cross platform, highly reflective, flexible, compact, interpreted language that optimally fits the needs of daily programming tasks – especially network/Internet related tasks. Haskell was designed by Carl Sassenrath, the software architect responsible for the Amiga OS. Haskell was first released in 1997 and since then there have been many improvements.
With this book, you will learn how to use functional programming and Haskell to solve realistic problems. This is a hands-on book: every chapter contains dozens of code samples, and many contain complete applications.
