Introducing functional programming in the Haskell language, this book is written for students and programmers with little or no experience. It emphasises the process of crafting programmes, problem solving and avoiding common programming pitfalls.

Covering basic functional programming, through abstraction to larger scale programming, students are lead step by step through the basics, before being introduced to more advanced topics.

This edition includes material on testing and domain-specific languages and a variety of new examples and case studies, including simple games. Existing material has been expanded and re-ordered, so that some concepts – such as simple data types and input/output – are presented at an earlier stage.

Product description

Review

The third 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 on program design, testing, problem solving and how to avoid common pitfalls.

Revisions to this new edition include new material on testing and domain-specific languages and a variety of new examples and case studies, including simple games. Existing material has been expanded and re-ordered, so that some concepts - such as simple data types and input/output - are presented at an earlier stage. The running example of Pictures is now implemented using web browser graphics as well as lists of strings.

The book uses GHCi, the interactive version of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler, as its implementation of choice. It has also been revised to include material about the Haskell Platform, and the Hackage online database of Haskell libraries. In particular, readers are given detailed guidance about how to find their way around what is available in these systems.

An accompanying web site supports the book, containing all the program code, further teaching materials and other useful resources.

Simon Thompson is Professor of Logic and Computation in the School of Computing at the University of Kent. His research and teaching interests include functional programming and logical aspects of computer science. Simon has written three other books: Erlang Programming (co-authored with Francesco Cesarini), Miranda: The Craft of Functional Programming and Type Theory and Functional Programming.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Simon Thompson is Professor of Logic and Computation in the School of Computing at the University of Kent, where he has taught computing at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the past thirty years, and was department head from 2002 to 2010; he is now Director for Research and Enterprise for the school.

His research work has centered on functional programming: program verification, type systems, and most recently development of software tools for functional programming languages. His team has built the HaRe tool for refactoring Haskell programs, and is currently developing Wrangler to do the same for Erlang. His research has been funded by various agencies including EPSRC and the European Framework programme. His training is as a mathematician: he has an MA in Mathematics from Cambridge and a D.Phil. in mathematical logic from Oxford.

He has written four books in his field of interest; Type Theory and Functional Programming published in 1991; Miranda: The Craft of Functional Programming (1995), Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming (3rd ed. 2011) and Erlang Programming (with Francesco Cesarini, 2009). Apart from the last, which is published by O'Reilly, these are all published by Addison Wesley.

Solid introduction to Haskell and functional programming
Reviewed in Canada on 19 September 2020
Verified Purchase

I actually quite liked this book. It is clear and well written. That being said, this book is much more suited to people who are relative novices at programming. The type of person that would be best suited to purchase this book would be someone that has some experience programming in other languages, but is relitively new to programming as a whole and completely new to functional programming. Anyone more experienced than that might want to look for a more advanced book.

It could be better
Reviewed in France on 24 December 2013

It's really friendly at the start, really directed to somebody that doesn't know much about programming languages and covers the material well enough with good organization inside each chapter. Plus it explains at the start of each chapter what that chapter is meant to accomplish, which i find really nice.

However it lacks detail in some cases, things that may be evident to the writer but not the reader. Sometimes I find myself checking for information on the internet because the book doesn't address my specific problem or doesn't hold an answer.

It does make use of already made exercices and examples that can be easily downloaded from the book's webpage (it even guides the user on how to download them), however I think that the way it implements that system in the book could be better. There are times when it is not clear wether to create a new file to work on or just use one from the downloaded examples. When it is clear, there is no previous warning to open an example file, it just assumes that you have it open or know what to do.

All things considered it is a good book, enjoyed reading it .
