And you'll reallyappreciate the crystal-clear illustrations, quick-checks, and open-endedtasks that make sure you're solid on each new concept before you movealong! KEY FEATURES* Full of interesting examples* Easy approach to functional programming basics* Write safe, predictable code with fewer bugs* Lots of illustrations and exercises Readers should have some experience with JavaScript, Python orRuby.

No functional programming or math skills required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGYHaskell is a purely functional programming language.

It treats programs asmuch like math as you can, requires you to think more than you type, andcan express the idea of infinite lists in code!

These are just the more obviousfeatures that make Haskell unlike any other programming language AUTHOR BIOWill Kurt currently works as a Data Scientist at Quick Sprout.
