NEW BOOK FROM CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS Cambridge is pleased to announce the publication of "The Haskell School of Expression: Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia" by Paul Hudak of Yale University 416 pp./15 line diagrams/75 exercises Paperback $29.95, ISBN: 0521644089 Hardback $74.95, ISBN: 0521643384 This book teaches functional programming as a way of thinking and problem solving, using Haskell, the most popular purely functional language. Rather than using the conventional mathematical examples commonly found in other programming language textbooks, the author draws examples from multimedia applications, including graphics, animation, and computer music, thus rewarding the reader with working programs for inherently more interesting applications. Aimed at both beginning and advanced programmers, this tutorial begins with a gentle introduction to functional programming and moves rapidly on to more advanced topics. Details about programming in Haskell are presented in boxes throughout the text so they can be easily referred to and found quickly.
