About the Book
This book provides an engaging introduction to functional programming, focusing on the Haskell programming language, which is the most popular purely functional language. Rather than using traditional mathematical examples, the author presents real-world applications from areas like multimedia, graphics, animation, and computer music. This approach not only makes the material more interesting but also gives the reader a chance to write working programs for engaging and creative applications.
Key Features:
-
Focus on Haskell: Teaches functional programming through Haskell, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced programmers.
-
Real-world Applications: Uses examples from multimedia domains, such as graphics, animation, and music, to demonstrate functional programming concepts.
-
Accessible to All Levels: Begins with a gentle introduction and moves on to advanced topics, catering to a wide range of learners.
-
Clear and Concise: Emphasizes simplicity, conciseness, and clarity, the hallmarks of functional programming.
-
Practical Approach: Includes 75 exercises and 15 black-and-white illustrations to reinforce concepts and provide hands-on practice.
Reviews:
-
"A rather unusual and very interesting book for the functional programming community. The author's style is wonderful, and he is good at explaining the material … unique in the field of functional programming." — M. Ivanović, Artificial Intelligence
-
"A novel and intuitively appealing approach to teaching functional programming … could profitably be used for an advanced undergraduate course focusing on domain-specific languages in this area." — Journal of Functional Programming
This book is an essential resource for anyone looking to explore functional programming in a practical and enjoyable way, making it an excellent choice for students and professionals alike.
