woops. indeed i did. I meant to ask about this book: http://www.amazon.com/Haskell-School-Expression-Functional-Programming/dp/0521644089/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1309282612&sr=8-1 thanks! On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 2:09 AM, Sunny Basi wrote:

I think you accidently pasted the mailing address email rather then the book title.

A few good books that I know of, -Real World Haskell -Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design -Programming in Haskell

has anyone read this book? beginners@haskell.org There are some mixed reviews on the product page. I'm a mid-level software engineer. I've only started learning about Functional programming (didn't even really learn about lisp in college) in the past 12 months. I'm looking to learn more about functional programming to help me improve as a programmer generally. Thanks, _Ramy

ok, cool. I bought a hard-copy of "Real World Haskell". I'm interested though in "flipping the switch" to more functional thinking. Any recommendations on abook that would help toward that end? On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 1:51 PM, Stephen Tetley wrote:

It's a good book - the only reservation I would have in recommending it is that it is a "work through" book, you have to work through the book in order to get its benefit. With say "Real World Haskell" you can skip and skim chapters if you don't find them so interesting.

Also, you might want to check that you can find and run the SOE "School of Expression" graphics software, it might not be compatible with current GUI toolkits.
