“
Of all the Haskell Web
Frameworks, Yesod is
the one taking the most
advantage of Haskell's
type safety. This book is
a great reference for that
framework and really
shows the benefits of
such an approach.

This fast-moving guide introduces web application development with
Haskell and Yesod, a potent language/framework combination that
supports high-performing applications that are modular, type-safe, and
concise. Fully updated for Yesod 1.4, this second edition shows you how
Yesod handles widgets, forms, persistence, and RESTful content. Author
Michael Snoyman also introduces various Haskell tools to supplement your
basic knowledge of the language.
By the time you finish this book, you’ll create a production-quality web
application with Yesod’s ready-to-use scaffolding. You’ll also examine
several real-world examples, including a blog, a wiki, a JSON web service,
and a Sphinx search server.
■ Build a simple application to learn Yesod’s foundation data type
and Web Application Interface (WAI)
■ Output HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Shakespearean
template languages
■ Get an in-depth look at Yesod’s core monads for producing
cleaner, more modular code
■ Probe Yesod’s internal workings: learn the request handling
process for a typical application
■ Build forms on top of widgets by implementing the yesod-form
declarative API
■ Learn how Yesod and Haskell handle persistence and session data
■ Serve an HTML page and a machine-friendly JSON page from
the same URL
Michael Snoyman, the creator of Yesod, has been programming for about 15
years, using Haskell for the past five. He brings ten years of web development
and documentation experience to a wide variety of environments.
