It´s all in the name: Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! is a hilarious, illustrated guide to this complex functional language. Packed with the author´s original artwork, pop culture references, and most importantly, useful example code, this book teaches functional fundamentals in a way you never thought possible.

You´ll start with the kid stuff: basic syntax, recursion, types and type classes. Then once you´ve got the basics down, the real black belt master-class begins: you´ll learn to use applicative functors, monads, zippers, and all the other mythical Haskell constructs you´ve only read about in storybooks.

As you work your way through the author´s imaginative (and occasionally insane) examples, you´ll learn to:

Laugh in the face of side effects as you wield purely functional programming techniques
Use the magic of Haskell´s ´laziness´ to play with infinite sets of data
Organize your programs by creating your own types, type classes, and modules
Use Haskell´s elegant input/output system to share the genius of your programs with the outside world
Short of eating the author´s brain, you will not find a better way to learn this powerful language than reading Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!

About the Author
Miran Lipovaca is a computer science student in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In addition to his passion for Haskell, he enjoys boxing, playing bass guitar, and, of course, drawing. He has a fascination with dancing skeletons and the number 71, and when he walks through automatic doors he pretends that he's actually opening them with his mind. Oh dear.
