Humblebundle: Functional Programming Books

• derstander 9y ago
  I just saw this bundle as well. I looked at the ratings on Amazon and they seem pretty solid though some have a limited number of reviews. Do folks have strong thoughts one way or the other on any of the books in particular? I'm making it a point to check out Rust this year. The included "Programming Rust" book looks pretty solid with 4.5 stars over 15 reviews; the bundle will probably be worth it on the strength of that alone. Thoughts on that book would be especially useful to me.

    You can read Programming Rust online if you have Safari Books or their free trial, I started reading the book on my free trial and certainly loved it. I intend to buy this bundle to keep reading it. The book expects the reader to have previous programming knowledge, so it might seem a little bit too fast in the beginning, but it has plenty of explanations and code about the subjects being shown, if the book wasn't so expensive in my country, I would definitely get a real copy of it.

      Thanks for the tip: I may have access to Safari Books through work so I'll give it a spin. I anticipate that I'll get the bundle as well. Sorry to hear that physical copies are so expensive in your country.
