For example, for the brand new F# language I bought the book http://www.amazon.com/Foundations-F-Robert-Pickering/dp/1590597575 which covers almost everything you need to create real-world applications, from GUIs to databases to 2D/3D graphics to custom languages. Okay, it's a bit buggy here and there, but it's a great overview.
as we many times said, there is need in two rather different books: one about "advanced haskell type hackery", which covers type and syntax extensions, smart ways of using types/classes, type system theory and so on. it is one we talked about in this thread. now this sort of information spread in thin air - places mentioned by Dons and me, haskell mail lists and so on another, very different - "real world haskell" about commercial and semi-commercial program development. it should cover gui, db, web, networking, multithreading, parsing and other practical topics, focusing on libraries, tools, and changing programmers' thinking. currently this information is even more spread - you can read 15-year old books such as SOE and SICP for learning FP programming style, and various docs and tutorials for info about using each tool and library -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
