Comprehensive guide for establishing a strong foundation in Haskell and developing pragmatic code
Create a full fledged web application using Haskell
Work with Lens,Haskell Extensions,and write code for concurrent and distributed applications
Book Description
Haskell is a purely functional language that has the great ability to develop large and difficult,but easily maintainable software.
Haskell Cookbook provides recipes that start by illustrating the principles of functional programming in Haskell,and then gradually build up your expertise in creating industrial-strength programs to accomplish any goal. The book covers topics such as Functors,Applicatives,Monads,and Transformers. You will learn various ways to handle state in your application and explore advanced topics such as Generalized Algebraic Data Types,higher kind types,existential types,and type families. The book will discuss the association of lenses with type classes such as Functor,Foldable,and Traversable to help you manage deep data structures.
With the help of the wide selection of examples in this book,you will be able to upgrade your Haskell programming skills and develop scalable software idiomatically.
What you will learn
Use functional data structures and algorithms to solve problems
Understand the intricacies of the type system
Create a simple parser for integer expressions with additions
Build high-performance web services with Haskell
Master mechanisms for concurrency and parallelism in Haskell
Perform parsing and handle scarce resources such as filesystem handles
