This is the code repository for Fundamentals of Practical Haskell Programming [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the video course from start to finish.
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 course will take you through all the concepts of functional programming (FP) and Haskell language. First we’ll address all the problems with FP and Haskell. Then we’ll help you distinguish the difference between FP and Haskell. We’ll then guide you through Haskell in depth. We’ll help you create your first Haskell program. You’ll then be given a brief insight into GHCi (Glasgow Haskell Compiler). Later we’ll explore the different values, expressions and programs in Haskell in depth.
By the end of this course you’ll have a foundation set-up to start writing your own Haskell programs and also have ample knowledge of the important functionalities of Haskell.
- Discover how functional programming addresses complexity
- Understand the general characteristics of functional programs
- See a comparison of functional programs with traditional imperative programs
- Get to know GHCi in brief
- See how Haskell compares with other functional programming languages
- Know what Haskell programs look like
To fully benefit from the coverage included in this course, you will need:
This course is for software developers with some experience in a “mainstream” imperative or object-oriented programming language such as C, C++, Java, C#, Python, or Ruby.
This course has the following software requirements:
