- You will need a fairly recent operating system, such as Windows, Linux, or Mac OS.
- You should set up the stack tool from https://www.haskellstack.org/. Use the Stack setup to download GHC (Haskell Compiler) on your machine. Stack is an extremely useful tool to work with different versions of GHC and packages.
- You will need a good editor. Vi and Emacs have very good support for Haskell. Eclipse and Sublime also have support for Haskell.
Haskell Cookbook
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.
