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.

Built-in Data Structures
It's hard to write interesting programs with just simple types such as strings and numbers. In this video, we'll look at built-in data structures such as Lists and Tuples, and see how we might do a simple dictionary lookup using built-in functions and the Maybe type. - Give an overview of Lists, a vital data structure - Look into Tuples and dictionaries - Explore the powerful Maybe type
