I've heard lots of good things about this book, it's on high priority on my "next to read" list.
Can you or anyone else recommend more books related to FP algorithms, concepts in general (which are not necessarily language specific)?
- jcurbo 13y agoSame here, I came in to post about that exact book. There's also Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design which I have yet to read. http://www.amazon.com/Pearls-Functional-Algorithm-Design-Richard/dp/0521513383/ http://www.amazon.com/Pearls-Functional-Algorithm-Design-Ric... In general you've got stuff like Introduction to Algorithms (http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Thomas-H-Cormen/dp/0262033844/ http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Thomas-H-Corme...) and the Algorithm Design Manual (http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/dp/1849967202/ http://www.amazon.com/Algorithm-Design-Manual-Steven-Skiena/...) both of which I have seen mentioned as good books. I'm in a grad school-level algorithms class that just started using the former (which is language agnostic, but we are doing our implementations in Java) and it looks pretty good to me.
- andrewcooke 13y agoi always liked http://www.amazon.com/The-Functional-Approach-Programming-Cousineau/dp/0521576814 http://www.amazon.com/The-Functional-Approach-Programming-Co... although it's quite old and uses ml (caml - imagine it's similar to ocaml, or even f#). in fact, i preferred it to SICP.
