Look inside

Learn Haskell by doing Haskell projects! In this book, you’ll get practical experience writing Haskell code and applying functional programming to actual development challenges.

In Learn Haskell by Example, you’ll build your Haskell skills by working through hands-on challenges and conundrums. You’ll learn to look at each project through a Haskell lens, and then solve it using features like lazy evaluation, immutable data structures, and monads.

In Learn Haskell by Example you will learn how to:

Use Haskell for daily programming tasks
Effectively apply functional concepts
Avoid common beginner pitfalls of Haskell
Apply abstract concepts in the Haskell language
Debug and profile Haskell applications
Improve the performance of Haskell applications

Haskell is an amazing choice for applications that need an extra guarantee of safety, such as in smart contracts, data intensive applications, and large scale distributed systems. In this book, you’ll see just how practical Haskell can be for creating programs by building your own engaging projects! Learn how to structure real-world applications, how to work with the Haskell tool chain effectively, and what to look out for when writing critical sections in the program's logic. Best of all, each project in this book is fully extensible and customizable so you can keep tinkering with your favorites!

about the technology

Programmers spend a lot of time debugging and refactoring code, reading comments and documentation, and trying to make sense out of complex designs. Haskell, a powerful, beautiful, and challenging functional programming language, promises a different path. By focusing your attention on simple functions, clearly-defined behaviors, and the right high-level abstractions, Haskell disallows the dangerous behaviors that usually lead to bugs and crashes.

about the book

Learn Haskell by Example teaches you to build applications in Haskell by designing and coding fun and engaging projects. In this easy-to-follow guide, you’ll create a domain specific language for music, an image processing library, and more! You’ll learn Haskell from the ground-up with a focus on important concepts like function design, composition, and data immutability. Each project gives you a new insight into how to think in Haskell and helps you understand why many Haskell developers say they will never use another language again.

An excellent introduction! Provides a clear approach to solving problems with Haskell.

Thad Meyer, LI-COR Environmental

Haskell for both the curious and practically-minded.

Magnus Therning, CarbonCloud AB

An exceptional work on using this awesome language in small projects. Highly recommended!

Vinicios Wentz, JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Excels at breaking down Haskell’s intricacies into digestible, actionable insights.

Damian Esteban, Allara Health

“This book is a fantastic book that can serve as a first Haskell book, an academic course textbook, or an exercise book for those wanting to learn Haskell. Although other books have exercises, the exercises in this book are the most well designed Haskell exercises I have found within Haskell literature. The exercises amply cover tool chain issues (something other books are light on). The only criticism I have is that the problem of Haskell record members scoping globally is not presented as problematic (nor are any of the Haskell library remedies for this problem discussed).”

“great book to learn Haskell by doing .. clear instructions.. you wont get bored because every chapter you will program some working application from simple to more complicated and learn as you progress.”
