Ask HN: Best Book to Learn Haskell And/or Functional Programming Paradigms?
What modern (as of Feb 2017) book do you recommend for learning Haskell and/or Functional Programming Paradigms?
I was interested in 'Real World Haskell' (http://book.realworldhaskell.org/) but it's from 2008 and I hear some breaking changes have been added to the language since.
Also if it matters, my preference are for technical books similar to 'The Practice of Programming'.
- localfugue 10y agoTake a look at this link from Chris Allen (aka bitemyapp): https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell The current best resource for beginning with Haskell seems to be haskell-book (listed on the Github link above): http://haskellbook.com/ http://haskellbook.com/. Chris Allen also authored this book with Julie Moronuki.
