Haskell in the real world is a quick and easy-to-use guide that introduces you to the increasingly popular programming language. You will learn how to apply Haskell to different practices, from short scripts to demanding large applications. This book explains the basics of functional programming, helping you understand how to apply Haskell in the real world, such as input/output performance, data processing, concurrency, and so on.

Haskell in the real world can help you:
* Understand the differences between procedural and functional programming
* Learn the features of Haskell and how to use it to develop useful programs.
* Interaction with file systems, databases, and network services
* Compile code that can be used for automatic testing, code coverage, and error handling
* Leverage the power of multi-core systems through concurrent and parallel programming
