Beginning Haskell
Beginning Haskell provides a broad-based introduction to the Haskell language, its libraries and
environment, and to the functional programming paradigm that is fast growing in importance in
the software industry. The book takes a project-based approach to learning the language that is
unified around the building of a web-based storefront. Excellent coverage is given to the Haskell
ecosystem and supporting tools. These include the Cabal build tool for managing projects
and modules, the HUnit and QuickCheck tools for software testing, the Scotty framework for
developing web applications, Persistent and Esqueleto for database access, and also parallel and
distributed programming libraries.
Functional programming is gathering momentum, allowing programmers to express
themselves in a more concise way, reducing boilerplate and increasing the safety of code.
Indeed, mainstream languages such as C# and Java are adopting features from functional
programming, and from languages implementing that paradigm. Haskell is an elegant and noise-
free pure functional language with a long history, having a huge number of library contributors
and an active community. This makes Haskell the best tool for both learning and applying
functional programming, and Beginning Haskell the perfect book to show off the language and
what it can do.
• Takes you through a series of projects showing the different parts of the language
• Provides an overview of the most important libraries and tools in the Haskell ecosystem
• Teaches you how to apply functional patterns in real-world scenarios
What You’ll Learn:
• Build small and large projects using the Haskell language
• Profit from ecosystem tools such as Cabal, HLint, and QuickCheck
• Implement efficient stream I/O via libraries like Conduit
• Parallelize code to run on multiple processors or distributed across a network
• Create domain-specific languages useable by business users, and to tackle specific
problem domains
• Build Haskell-backed websites using database and web-application libraries such as
Persistent, Esqueleto, and Scotty
