Real World Haskell

Bryan O'Sullivan is an Irish hacker and writer who likes distributed systems, open source software, and programming languages. He was a member of the initial design team for the Jini network service architecture (subsequently open sourced as Apache River). He has made significant contributions to, and written a book about, the popular Mercurial revision control system. He lives in San Francisco with his wife and sons. Whenever he can, he runs off to climb rocks.Don Stewart is an Australian hacker, currently completing his computer science doctorate at the University of New South Wales, Sydney. Don has been involved in a diverse range of Haskell projects, including practical libraries such as Data.ByteString and Data.Binary, as well applying the Haskell philosophy to real world applications, including compilers, linkers, text editors, network servers and systems software. His recent work has focused on optimising Haskell for high-performance scenarios, using techniques from term rewriting. He is the current editor of the Haskell Weekly News.John Goerzen is an American hacker and author. He has written a number of real-world Haskell libraries and applications, including the HDBC database interface, the ConfigFile configuration file interface, a podcast downloader, and various other libraries relating to networks, parsing, logging, and POSIX code. John has been a developer for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system project for over 10 years and maintains numerous Haskell libraries and code for Debian. He also served as President of Software in the Public Interest, Inc., the legal parent organization of Debian. John lives in rural Kansas with his wife and son, where he enjoys photography and geocaching.

This easy-to-use, fast-moving tutorial introduces you to functional programming with Haskell. Learn how to use Haskell in a variety of practical ways, whether it's for short, script-like programs or large and demanding applications. Written for experienced programmers, Real World Haskell takes you through the basics of functional programming at a brisk pace, and helps you increase your understanding of Haskell in real-world issues like I/O, performance, dealing with data, concurrency, and more as you move through each chapter.

With this book, you will:

Understand the difference between procedural and functional programming

Learn about Haskell's compiler, interpreter, values, simple functions, and types

Find your way around Haskell's library -- and write your own

Use monads to express I/O operations and changes in state

Interact with databases, parse files and data, and handle errors

Discover how to use Haskell for systems programming

Learn concurrency and parallel programming with Haskell

You'll find plenty of hands-on exercises, along with examples of real Haskell programs that you can modify, compile, and run. If you've never used a functional language before, and want to understand why Haskell is now coming into its own as a practical language in so many major organizations, Real World Haskell is the place to start.

读后感

一本实用主义的书。 相比较于其他从将语言特性的书来说，这本书从实用的角度详细讲解了Haskell的大部分方面。很适合软件工程师来看。 推荐。  

这本书差不多是看完了，不过有些章节说实话没有吃透。我只是略微有些过程式编程的基础，没有函数式编程的背景，感觉学完这本书，也只是能看懂大部分Haskell代码，但要自己写一些实际的代码，还是差太多，关键是在过程式编程里的概念，要在Haskell中实现，其间的转换很大...  

在读这本书之前我也在网上找了一些tutorial之类的东西来看, 但这些材料大多都太聚焦于各种抽象的概念, 每个概念独立成章缺乏融汇贯通很容易让初学者摸不着头脑, 很多toy example虽然看上去很美, 却离实际应用相去甚远. Real World Haskell, 正如书名所暗示的, 采用了一种紧密...  

此书的翻译进展了大部分，还有部分章节诚邀译者参与。 也邀请有识之士参与审校，有酬！ 请大家邮件联系[e-mail]  

用户评价

比起official那本，这本稍微更适合正常人类阅读

[2013年7月14日 想读] 已经过了这么久了啊。 只剩 concurrent 的部分了，留给另外一本书补完。

阅读了在线版。

读到第六章就放弃了

不是很好，既不 real world，好像也没怎么样 haskell
