I just downloaded the finished ebook. Searching for "monad" returns three hits. :lemonad, one mention to monadic and one mention of monads in the source list. I was a little disappointed.
- fogus 16y agoBecause you have a fever, and the only prescription is more monad? "Monad" is a loaded term and we didn't feel that talking about them in that way added any value to the book.
- claesh 16y agoI don't know what you imply with fever, I am not a native english speaker, but I just paid for your book. I am also a beginner to functional programming and curious about what monads are and I have read about them without really understanding them. I was reading up on monads the last two weeks, these are the good sources I have found for Clojure: http://onclojure.com/2009/03/05/a-monad-tutorial-for-clojure-programmers-part-1/ http://onclojure.com/2009/03/05/a-monad-tutorial-for-clojure... http://intensivesystems.net/tutorials/monads_101.html http://intensivesystems.net/tutorials/monads_101.html http://vimeo.com/20717301 http://vimeo.com/20717301
- fogus 16y agoThose are the best Clojure monad tutorials available. Definitely better than we could have written. :-)
- mechanical_fish 16y agoI don't know what you imply with fever Let me help. The "fever" line is an offhand reference to this fairly famous piece of American culture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_cowbell http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_cowbell You should obviously not feel ashamed for missing the reference completely. ;)
