Unlike any other programming language, Haskell is purely functional
with a strong type system and lazy evaluation. It is arguable the
most interesting language but also has the reputation of being one
of the most challenging to learn. Learning Haskell doesn't have to
be difficult, and this book can help! 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 by doing
Haskell. This book starts with first concepts, building your
knowledge with concrete examples and exercises. You'll learn to
think the Haskell way, as you start to understand the language and
how to use it effectively. And you'll really appreciate the
crystal-clear illustrations, quick-checks, and open-ended tasks
that make sure you're solid on each new concept before you move
along! KEY FEATURES * Full of interesting examples * Easy approach
to functional programming basics * Write safe, predictable code
with fewer bugs * Lots of illustrations and exercises Readers
should have some experience with JavaScript, Python or Ruby. No
functional programming or math skills required. ABOUT THE
TECHNOLOGY Haskell is a purely functional programming language. It
treats programs as much like math as you can, requires you to think
more than you type, and can express the idea of infinite lists in
code! These are just the more obvious features that make Haskell
unlike any other programming language AUTHOR BIO Will Kurt
currently works as a Data Scientist at Quick Sprout. With a formal
background in both Computer Science (MS) and English Literature
(BA) he is fascinated with explaining complex technical topics as
clearly and generally as possible. He has taught a course section
on Haskell at the University of Nevada, Reno and given workshops on
Functional Programming. He also blogs about probability at
