5.0 out of 5 stars Essential for my understanding of functional programming., 5 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming (International Computer Science Series) (Paperback)
This book was recommended to accompany a university module in Haskell and functional programming which I was having a little difficulty with. Once I read the book, not only did the concepts become clear but I also started to really enjoy functional programming. For my circumstances, it was the perfect book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introductory book, 18 Aug 2011
I bought this book later than I should have. It is nicely written, with a good number of code examples and more importantly, a good number of exercises. It does, however, advance a bit slowly on the topics, so if you have done some functional programming before you might be tempted to start skipping or skimming chapters.

Overall, I would recommend it to anyone starting out with Haskell or functional programming in general.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the best choice for begginers in FP, 26 April 1999
By A Customer
A very good introductory text for Functional Programming, witch uses the Haskell notation. Maybe made for those who came from some experiense in imperative languages, such as C or Pascal. Good examples, maybe not enough case studies. Another good reference is "Bird"
