A practical book for real-world Haskell programs. It expands your Haskell knowledge to new frontiers.

This is not an entry level book, I would recommend starting with "Get Programming with Haskell" if you are new to Haskell.

I've got to say this is a great book. I've used Haskell in industry for around 8 years and the advanced bit at the end has really helped me fill in some blanks that were really useful for stuff I'd used or seen but not really understood - type families, type applications, generic programming, template Haskell and things like GADTs that I'd only heard of but never come across.

It's really informative, extremely well written and has a light humorous tone throughout. an absolute pleasure to read and I've really progressed my Haskell skills that had more or less stagnated. Also the contents page is great and there's enough space to write some notes in the margins.

The best written programming book I've read and it's extremely practical whilst explaining key context that is often missing from the docs
