Learning Haskell Programming [Video]

By: Hakim Cassimally

Overview of this book

Haskell is a powerful and well-designed functional programming language designed to work with complex data. Its emphasis on "purity" makes it easier to create rock-solid applications which stay maintainable and error-free even as they grow in scale. This video would begin with the fundamentals and building blocks of Haskell programming language with special emphasis on functional programming. It will be covering how Haskell variables, syntax work alongwith Haskell datatypes and functions. You will learn how to solve programming problems while creating an application with hands-on experience. You will then move on to learning writing expressions and high-order functions. At the end of the video, you will be able to build a complete application with Haskell alongwith learning the important functionalities.

Making the Game Playable
The moment we've all been waiting for: we'll now turn all of our hard work learning about functions and data types into an actual game that we can play! - Create a Game type which represents the grid, the hidden words, and our current progress - Write functions to play a single game turn by changing state and displaying it, and stitch each turn together using recursion - Use the IO Monad to take input and display output
