Résumé

The second edition of Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming is essential reading for beginners to functional programming and newcomers to the Haskell programming language. The emphasis is on the process of crafting programs and the text contains many examples and running case studies, as well as advice an program design, testing, problem solving and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Building on the strengths of the first edition, the book includes many new and improved features:

Complete coverage of Haskell 98, the standard version of Haskell
which will be stable and supported by implementations for years to
come
An emphasis on software engineering principles, encouraging a
disciplined approach to building reusable libraries of software
components
Detailed coverage of the Hugs interpreter with an appendix covering
other implementations
A running case study of pictures emphasizes the built-in functions
which appear in the standard prelude and libraries. It is also used to
give an early preview of some of the more complex language features,
such as high-order functions
List comprehensions and the standard functions over lists are covered
before recursion
Early coverage of polymorphism supporting the "toolkit" approach
and encouraging the resuse of built-in functions and types
Extensive reference material containing details of further reading in
books, journals and on the World Wide Web
Accompanying Web Site supporting the book, containing all the
program code, further teaching materials and other useful resources
