Netwire by Ertugrul Söylemez would be a good library to start with. If for some reason netwire doesn't quite suit your needs, take a look at Animas, a fork of Yampa. http://hackage.haskell.org/package/netwire-3.1.0 http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Netwire On 17.2.2012 07:50, Arnaud Bailly

I've always found Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java the best introductory book to the practice of object oriented programming and Java. There's a sample online http://www.mindviewinc.com/TIJ4/BookSampleDownload.php Whether this is in concordance with FP principles or not is a different thing, but

I got started in FRP with Yampa, and I currently maintain Animas, which is a fork. AFAIK no one is really doing much with either anymore. Yampa and Animas are both messy both in implementation and the exposed interface. I did start with Yampa, but it was incredibly frustrating because the

[Haskell-cafe] empty fields are dropped in bytestring csv

the bytestring-csv package appears to have a bug whereby empty fields are dropped completely from the row, which is different to Text.CSV , which will return an empty field in the parse result. I'd argue this is a bug in bytestring-csv, anyone know whether this has been raised before, or know of a
