This book introduces Miranda at a level appropriate for professionals with little or no prior experience in programming. The emphasis is on the process of crafting programs, solving problems, and avoiding common errors. Using a large number of running examples and case studies, the book encourages the design of well structured, reusable software together with proofs of correctness. A tear-out card enables readers to acquire a Miranda compiler from Research Software Ltd. at a substantial discount off the published list price.

Product description

Review

Functional languages like Miranda are used increasingly to teach introductory programming courses. The clear and elegant syntax, freedom from side-effects and amenability to proofs of program correctness all help to foster a disciplined approach to programming. This book introduces Miranda at a level appropriate for students with little or no prior experience of programming. The emphasis is on the process of crafting programs, solving problems, and avoiding common errors.

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.
