Haskell Programming (EARLY ACCESS)
- jdeisenberg 11y agoLooks interesting. I realize you have only 75 pages so far, but a preview of a page or two would help people make up their mind (especially at a US$59 price point).
- coolsunglasses 11y agoHi, I'm the author. I'm flattered (thank you OP!), but I didn't intend for this to be posted to HN yet. I announced on Twitter where my followers know me and my work pretty well. I'll talk to my coauthor about what she thinks should go into a sample PDF and see what we can get sorted. Also, this was a direct link to the Gumroad page, there's more explanation and background here: http://haskellbook.com/ http://haskellbook.com/ Edit: Another note regarding content. We have a lot more done than 75 pages. We have almost half of a 500-600 page book completed, but we're waiting for some last minute reviewers to finish sending feedback before releasing the next batch of material. Edit2: Sample is up on the site now, direct link at: http://haskellbook.com/images/sample_pdf_v1.pdf http://haskellbook.com/images/sample_pdf_v1.pdf Hope the approach/style for learning Haskell appeals :)
- akurilin 11y agoPretty thrilled about this book. There are rather few recent Haskell texts with beginners in mind, and Chris of the https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell fame is probably one of the most qualified people out there to teach the subject. Anything that helps people get started and advance through the skillset is a huge boon to the community.
