NEW BOOK FROM CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS (CUP) 'The Haskell School of Expression: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia', by Paul Hudak (Yale) Paperback £18.95, ISBN: 0521644089 Hardback £52.50, ISBN: 0521643384 Publication April 2000 This book teaches functional programming as a way of thinking and problem solving, using Haskell. Rather than using the conventional mathematical examples commonly found in other programming language textbooks, the author draws from multimedia applications, including graphics, animation, and computer music, thus rewarding the reader with working programs for inherently more interesting applications. Aimed at both beginning and advanced programmers, this tutorial begins with a gentle introduction to functional programming and moves rapidly on to more advanced topics. Details about programming in Haskell are presented in boxes throughout the text so they can be easily referred to and found quickly.
