商品描述

Get a practical, hands-on introduction to the Haskell language, its libraries and environment, and to the functional programming paradigm that is fast growing in importance in the software industry. This book contains excellent coverage of the Haskell ecosystem and supporting tools, include Cabal and Stack for managing projects, HUnit and QuickCheck for software testing, the Spock framework for developing web applications, Persistent and Esqueleto for database access, and parallel and distributed programming libraries.

You'll see how functional programming is gathering momentum, allowing you to express yourself in a more concise way, reducing boilerplate, and increasing the safety of your code. Haskell is an elegant and noise-free pure functional language with a long history, having a huge number of library contributors and an active community. This makes Haskell the best tool for both learning and applying functional programming, and Practical Haskell takes advantage of this to show off the language and what it can do.

What You Will Learn

 

  • Get started programming with Haskell
  • Examine the different parts of the language
  • Gain an overview of the most important libraries and tools in the Haskell ecosystem
  • Apply functional patterns in real-world scenarios
  • Understand monads and monad transformers
  • Proficiently use laziness and resource management

 

Who This Book Is For

Experienced programmers who may be new to the Haskell programming language. However, some prior exposure to Haskell is recommended.

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

獲得一個實用、實際操作的Haskell語言介紹,包括其庫和環境,以及在軟體行業中日益重要的函數式編程範式。本書詳細介紹了Haskell生態系統和支援工具,包括用於項目管理的Cabal和Stack,用於軟體測試的HUnit和QuickCheck,用於開發網絡應用的Spock框架,用於數據庫訪問的Persistent和Esqueleto,以及並行和分佈式編程庫。

您將看到函數式編程正在蓬勃發展,使您能以更簡潔的方式表達自己,減少樣板代碼,提高代碼的安全性。Haskell是一種優雅且無噪音的純函數式語言,擁有悠久的歷史,擁有眾多庫貢獻者和活躍的社區。這使得Haskell成為學習和應用函數式編程的最佳工具,《實用Haskell》充分利用這一點展示了語言的特點和功能。

您將學到什麼:

- 開始使用Haskell進行編程
- 深入了解語言的不同部分
- 瞭解Haskell生態系統中最重要的庫和工具
- 在實際場景中應用函數式模式
- 理解單子和單子變換器
- 熟練使用惰性求值和資源管理

本書適合對Haskell編程語言尚不熟悉的有經驗的程序員。然而,建議具有一些Haskell的先備知識。

作者簡介

Alejandro Serrano Mena is working towards his PhD thesis in the Software Technology group in Utrecht University. He is passionate about functional programming, and has been coding Haskell for personal and professional projects for more than five years. During his college years he was active in an association promoting functional languages among students, giving talks and helping programmers get started in the functional paradigm. In 2011 he took part in the Google Summer of Code program, enhancing the Haskell plug-in for the popular development environment Eclipse. His current position involves research for enhancing the way in which developers get feedback and interact with strong type systems such as Haskell's.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Alejandro Serrano Mena正在烏得勒支大學的軟體技術研究小組攻讀博士學位論文。他對函數式編程充滿熱情,已經在個人和專業項目中使用Haskell編程超過五年。在大學期間,他積極參與一個促進學生學習函數式語言的協會,發表演講並幫助程式設計師入門函數式範式。2011年,他參加了Google Summer of Code計劃,改進了Haskell插件,使其更適用於流行的開發環境Eclipse。他目前的職位涉及研究如何改進開發人員與Haskell等強類型系統的反饋和互動方式。
