Real World Haskell

”‘Real World Haskell’ will die Sprache aus der akademischen Nische heraus in die ‘reale Welt’ führen. Der Zeitpunkt für ein Buch wie dies ist gut, haben doch viele ihren ersten Kontakt mit dem der funktionalen Programmierung. Sei es durch neue Sprachen wie Scala und F# oder ältere wie Erlang oder Haskell, die derzeit eine Renaissance erleben.” - iX, September 2009

“Insgesamt halte ich Real World Haskell für ein sehr gelungenes Buch und, wer auch immer Haskell nicht nur als akademische Veranstaltung betreiben will, wird an diesem Buch kaum vorbeikommen.” - Darmstadt Perlmongers, Juli 2009

He has written a number of real-world Haskell libraries and applications, including the HDBC database interface, the ConfigFile configuration file interface, a podcast downloader, and various other libraries relating to networks, parsing, logging, and POSIX code. John has been a developer for the Debian GNU/Linux operating system project for over 10 years and maintains numerous Haskell libraries and code for Debian. He also served as President of Software in the Public Interest, Inc., the legal parent organization of Debian.

Don has been involved in a diverse range of Haskell projects, including practical libraries such as Data.ByteString and Data.Binary, as well applying the Haskell philosophy to real world applications, including compilers, linkers, text editors, network servers and systems software. His recent work has focused on optimising Haskell for high-performance scenarios, using techniques from term rewriting. He is the current editor of the Haskell Weekly News.
