First class introduction to HaskellApril 4, 2007 J. Burton 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a great book which I enjoyed reading and found more useful than other introductory Haskell texts with the exception of Bird, although it may not be the best choice if you are most interested in the practical aspects of the Haskell. The emphasis is on foundations and language features (which are all Haskell 98) are introduced as they occur naturally in the discussion of a number of Number Theory and Logic problems.
This book is well named -- it aims to teach the three disciplines of its title in equal measure and learning Haskell is presented as the channel for that, rather than being a goal in itself.
NOT what I expected at allNovember 11, 2006 P. Clayton 2 out of 13 found this review helpful
I am a second year computer scientist in hope to understand programming in Haskell. I simply get lost within the first few paragraphs. This book is not designed for the beginner in Haskell.
