Free EBook on Haskell Programming

Haskell is a functional programming language. If you haveprogrammed before and would like to see a little bit of how Haskellworks and is different from other programming languages, you canget an overview in this ebook.

Haskell is unique for two reasons. The first is that it ispurely functional. If you have a function and you call it twice intwo different places with the same arguments then it will returnexactly the same value both times. Secondly, Haskell provides avery modern type system which incorporates features liketypeclasses and generalized algebraic data types.

So, why do Haskellers like the language then? Is it just becausewe like using things that are unique and modern? No, Haskellprogrammers enjoy their work because dealing with just purefunctions makes it so much easier to understand our programs andprove them correct. Moreover, having an advanced type system helpsus catch our mistakes, both the silly and profound ones.

In this book we aim to introduce you both to the Haskelllanguage, from the very basics to its most advanced features, andto computer programming in general.
