Anyone know some particularly good Haskell books for intermediate Haskellers? Ones that skip over all the syntax and basic grammar, and dive more into whole-program structure, how to connect different parts together, rather than looking at individual parts.
- misja111 10y agoI like Real World Haskell. It does have a small intro explaining the basic stuff but it contains a lot of case studies and chapters about data structures, guis, web servers etc. And it's available online for free: http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/ http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/
- fpoling 10y agoAs a beginner I also strongly recommend Real World Haskell precisely because it gives examples of realistic applications. For me it was quite revealing that once one sees through syntax, the key difference of programming in Haskell from writing code in more mainstream languages is not the functional aspect but rather very explicit state management.
