Improve Your Haskell Programming Skills in a Weekend! This book is a "mini" language reference on Haskell, which is one of the most widely used (pure) functional programming languages. We go through all salient features of the modern Haskell programming language in this book (based on the Haskell 2010 Language Report). Although it is written as a reference, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Haskell language if you have some prior experience with functional programming in Haskell or other ML-style functional programming languages. This book is, however, not for absolute beginners. The book covers * Haskell software development process basics. * Haskell module system. Import and export. * Predefined types such as Char and String. * Top-level and nested declarations. * Type signatures. Function and pattern bindings. * Functions. Sections. Currying. * Conditional expressions. Case expressions. * Pattern matching. * Types. Data types. Type classes. * Basics of Functors and Monads. * Basic IO. * The Standard Prelude functions. * The builtin classes such as Eq, Ord, and Enum. Order your copy today and learn Haskell this weekend!

Learn Rust the Right Way! This book is a mini language reference on the Rust programming language. We go through all essential features of Rust 2021 Edition (and some newer language features) in this book. Rust is one of the most powerful languages, originally created for low-level systems programming. Rust is now widely used in other areas as well, such as Web application development. Rust is, in fact, one of the most popular/loved languages among developers. (And yet, it is one of the most difficult programming languages to learn.) This book is specifically written for * Experienced programmers who are new to Rust, or * Beginning Rust programmers who want to learn various fundamental concepts in Rust programming. That is, if you have some prior experience with Rust or other similar languages like C++ or Haskell, etc., then this book is for you. This book is, however, ultimately a "language reference", and it is not intended for complete beginners. The book covers * Rust crates. * Rust program items. * Names and variables. * Ownership and borrowing. * Blocks, scopes, lifetimes. * Types, traits, generics. * Special types, special traits. * Expressions. Statements. * Pattern matching. * Error handling. * Common macros. * Builtin attributes. Order your copy today and learn Rust the right way!

Learn Golang Essentials in a Weekend! Go is one of the most powerful, and yet the simplest, modern programming languages. We go through all important features of the modern Go programming language (as of 1.18 and 1.19 - 2022), including generics!! Why Go? * Go is a simple, easy to learn and use, beginner-friendly high-level programming language. * Go is suitable for low-level systems programming, traditionally done by low level languages like C. * Go is one of the most popular languages in modern Web services and application development. * Go is one of the most widely used CLI application languages for system administration and network management. * Go is fun! Although the book is written as a reference, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Go language (but not necessarily all the gory details) if you have some prior experience with programming in Go or other similar C-style languages. The book covers * Go toolchain. Workspaces, modules. * Go program execution model. Packages. * Variable, constant declarations. * Builtin types, builtin functions. * Structs, interfaces. Generic types. * Functions, methods. Generic functions. * Expressions and statements. * Goroutines. The book also includes a bonus chapter on generics for people who are new to programming with the parameterized types. Generics brings the power of the modern type system to the Go programming language. You won't be able to program effectively in Go without fully utilizing generics moving forward.

Become a Better Javascript Programmer! Typescript is a better Javascript, It is a statically typed, safe programming language, which uses more or less the same syntax as Javascript. Typescript programs are compiled to Javascript, and they can be run anywhere Javascript is supported. It is widely used by professional Javascript developers, for frontend development (e.g., Angular, React, and VueJS) as well as for backend development (e.g., Node.Js and Deno). This book is a "mini" language reference on the Typescript programming language. We go through all essential features of Typescript (as of versions 4.8 and 4.9), and some new ECMAScript features, in this book. Although it is written as a reference, however, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Typescript language if you have some prior experience with programming in Typescript or modern Javascript (ES2015 and later). This book is, however, not intended for complete beginners. The book covers * Typescript development basics. * ES module system. * Basic JS/TS types. Type annotations. * Variable declarations. Type inference. * Algebraic data types. Generics. * Objects. Classes. * Function types. Arrow functions. * How to create new types from existing types. Order your copy today!

An introduction to dependent types, demonstrating the most beautiful aspects, one step at a time. A program's type describes its behavior. Dependent types are a first-class part of a language, and are much more powerful than other kinds of types; using just one language for types and programs allows program descriptions to be as powerful as the programs they describe. The Little Typer explains dependent types, beginning with a very small language that looks very much like Scheme and extending it to cover both programming with dependent types and using dependent types for mathematical reasoning. Readers should be familiar with the basics of a Lisp-like programming language, as presented in the first four chapters of The Little Schemer. The first five chapters of The Little Typer provide the needed tools to understand dependent types; the remaining chapters use these tools to build a bridge between mathematics and programming. Readers will learn that tools they know from programming—pairs, lists, functions, and recursion—can also capture patterns of reasoning. The Little Typer does not attempt to teach either practical programming skills or a fully rigorous approach to types. Instead, it demonstrates the most beautiful aspects as simply as possible, one step at a time.

Get a practical, hands-on introduction to the Haskell language, its libraries and environment, and to the functional programming paradigm that is fast growing in importance in the software industry. This book contains excellent coverage of the Haskell ecosystem and supporting tools, include Cabal and Stack for managing projects, HUnit and QuickCheck for software testing, the Spock framework for developing web applications, Persistent and Esqueleto for database access, and parallel and distributed programming libraries. You’ll see how functional programming is gathering momentum, allowing you to express yourself in a more concise way, reducing boilerplate, and increasing the safety of your code. Haskell is an elegant and noise-free pure functional language with a long history, having a huge number of library contributors and an active community. This makes Haskell the best tool for both learning and applying functional programming, and Practical Haskell takes advantage of this to show off the language and what it can do. What You Will Learn Get started programming with Haskell Examine the different parts of the language Gain an overview of the most important libraries and tools in the Haskell ecosystem Apply functional patterns in real-world scenarios Understand monads and monad transformers Proficiently use laziness and resource management Who This Book Is For Experienced programmers who may be new to the Haskell programming language. However, some prior exposure to Haskell is recommended.
