I am very happy to announce that we now have a non-English book on Haskell. It is now being printed and officially the publishing date is 2009-07-24. It will be available on Korean bookstores from next week.
Publisher's new book announcement: http://www.daerim.net/new_20050605/books/view.asp?ISBN=9788972808183 http://www.drbook.co.kr/new_20050605/books/view.asp?ISBN=9788972808183 Book hompage (being updated): http://pl.pusan.ac.kr/~haskell/ There are some additional screenshots of installing Hugs and GHC, which isn't in the original translation, and also has Windows port of Graham Hutton's original script on the book hompage that uses interactive programs using non-buffered standard inputs and ANSI code. And, it has the new Haskell logo on its cover :) If you are in Korean institution teaching programming languages related courses you can introduce it to students as recommended text to understand and feel about what functional programming paradigm is. It can be also used as a introductory programming course, or for self learning. Also, if you have a international Korean student outside of Korea having difficulties in understanding functional programming paradigm this you can introduce this book as a good starting point. We hope this translation makes a positive impact increasing the number of functional programmers locally in Korea. Many thanks to everyone who helped us translators on this project including Graham Hutton himself, Gyun Woo who has shown interest and given advice and also provided a space for homepage, the Korean reviewers who volunteered for correcting errors in the draft, colleagues in Portland State University who encourages this project, and the Daerim publishing for making a brave decision to publish the first Korean book on Higher-Order & Type language in the market even though there are not yet many local institutions or industry using Haskell. (FYI, there has been only two books on functional language published in Korean before, both translations. One is the SICP, and the other is Programming in Erlang.) -- Ahn, Ki Yung _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
