Key Features
Explore Haskell on a higher level through idioms and patterns
Get an in-depth look into the three strongholds of Haskell: higher-order functions, the Type system, and Lazy evaluation
Expand your understanding of Haskell and functional programming, one line of executable code at a time
Book DescriptionDesign patterns and idioms can widen our perspective by showing us where to look, what to look at, and ultimately how to see what we are looking at. At their best, patterns are a shorthand method of communicating better ways to code (writing less, more maintainable, and more efficient code) This book starts with Haskell 98 and through the lens of patterns and idioms investigates the key advances and programming styles that together make "modern Haskell". Your journey begins with the three pillars of Haskell. Then you'll experience the problem with Lazy I/O, together with a solution. You'll also trace the hierarchy formed by Functor, Applicative, Arrow, and Monad. Next you'll explore how Fold and Map are generalized by Foldable and Traversable, which in turn is unified in a broader context by functional Lenses. You'll delve more deeply into the Type system, which will prepare you for an overview of Generic programming. In conclusion you go to the edge of Haskell by investigating the Kind system and how this relates to Dependently-typed programmingWhat you will learn
Understand the relationship between the "Gang of Four" OOP Design Patterns and Haskell.
Try out three ways of Streaming I/O: imperative, Lazy, and Iteratee based.
Explore the pervasive pattern of Composition: from function composition through to high-level composition with Lenses.
Synthesize Functor, Applicative, Arrow and Monad in a single conceptual framework.
Follow the grand arc of Fold and Map on lists all the way to their culmination in Lenses and Generic Programming.
Get a taste of Type-level programming in Haskell and how this relates to dependently-typed programming.
Retrace the evolution, one key language extension at a time, of the Haskell Type and Kind systems.
Place the elements of modern Haskell in a historical framework.
Who this book is forIf you're a Haskell programmer with a firm grasp of the basics and ready to move more deeply into modern idiomatic Haskell programming, then this book is for you.

Copy-Protection: Adobe-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Install the free reader Adobe Digital Editions prior to download (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or the app PocketBook before downloading (see eBook Help).
- E-reader: Bookeen, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony, Tolino and many more (only limited: Kindle).
The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
