Haskell is unlike any other programming language. It's purely functional with a strong type system and lazy evaluation. In practical terms, this means that Haskell treats programs a lot like math, so you have to think more than you type.

Along with being arguably the most interesting language, Haskell has the reputation of being one of the most challenging programming languages to learn. Learning Haskell doesn't have to be difficult, and this book can help!

Get Programming with Haskell introduces you to the Haskell language without drowning you in academic jargon and heavy functional programming theory. By working through 43 easy-to-follow lessons, you'll learn Haskell by doing Haskell.

This book starts with first concepts, building your knowledge with concrete examples and exercises. You'll learn to think the Haskell way, as you start to understand the language and how to use it effectively. And you'll really appreciate the crystal-clear illustrations, quick-checks, and open-ended tasks that make sure you're solid on each new concept before you move along!

Readers should have some experience with JavaScript, Python or Ruby. No functional programming or math skills required.
