<br>
John Goerzen, Don Stewart and I are delighted to announce the<br>
availability of our book, "Real World Haskell". It is 710 pages long,<br>
and published by O'Reilly Media.<br>
<br>
This is the first book to comprehensively cover modern Haskell<br>
programming. From an introduction to functional programming, it<br>
focuses on teaching through many worked examples. We discuss the<br>
"awkward squad" of I/O, concurrency, and exceptions. We cover network<br>
programming, databases, and system hacking. We motivate and work with<br>
monoids, applicative functors, monads, and monad transformers. We show<br>
you how to debug code, and how to ship well-tested software.<br>
<br>
Better yet, the book is available under a Creative Commons license, so<br>
you can read as much of it as you please before you buy:<br>
<a href="http://book.realworldhaskell.org/" target="_blank">http://book.realworldhaskell.org/</a> We developed this book with the<br>
enthusiastic and voluble support of the Haskell community, and we are<br>
proud to share our work in a fashion that will help newcomers to our<br>
field.<br>
<br>
And best of all, if you order now (at least in North America), you can<br>
have a copy of the book in your hands in a matter of days.<br>
<br>
Thank you from all of us to our friends in the Haskell world who have<br>
been so generous with their feedback and kind words!<br>
