Haskell Cookbook

Overview of this book

Haskell is a purely functional language that has the great ability to develop large and difficult, but easily maintainable software. Haskell Cookbook provides recipes that start by illustrating the principles of functional programming in Haskell, and then gradually build up your expertise in creating industrial-strength programs to accomplish any goal. The book covers topics such as Functors, Applicatives, Monads, and Transformers. You will learn various ways to handle state in your application and explore advanced topics such as Generalized Algebraic Data Types, higher kind types, existential types, and type families. The book will discuss the association of lenses with type classes such as Functor, Foldable, and Traversable to help you manage deep data structures. With the help of the wide selection of examples in this book, you will be able to upgrade your Haskell programming skills and develop scalable software idiomatically.

Using hedis to work with redis (key-value, list and hash)

Redis (http://redis.io) is a key-value store and more. It offers facilities very different than relational databases. As a NoSQL database, one has to employ a different philosophy, such as duplicating keys across stores, maintaining reverse lookup, and so on.

In this recipe, we will be using redis to create key-value stores, sorted sets, and hash sets. We will be using the hedis library to connect to Redis and manipulate the data.
