Product Description
Product Description
Introducing functional programming in the Haskell language, this book is written for students and programmers with little or no experience. It emphasises the process of crafting programmes, problem solving and avoiding common programming pitfalls.
Covering basic functional programming, through abstraction to larger scale programming, students are lead step by step through the basics, before being introduced to more advanced topics.
This edition includes new material on testing and domain-specific languages and a variety of new examples and case studies, including simple games. Existing material has been expanded and re-ordered, so that some concepts – such as simple data types and input/output – are presented at an earlier stage.

Format: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.
Format:Paperback
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.

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"

Frustrating book.
I hated the book more than I hated Haskell!
My first impression of the book was positive, the chapters looked organised and the language used looked very clear. Read more

Poor - a superficial treatment.
I get the feeling that Thompson was pre-occupied when he wrote this book. Concepts which would probably not have been covered by students with little or no programming experience... Read more

good selection of topics but need more detailed explanation
This is generally a good book. But it has very little explantion of recursion for an introductory cs book. Since Haskell uses recursion exclusively, this is a severe shortcoming. Read more
