About the author

Simon Thompson is Professor of Logic and Computation in the School of Computing at the University of Kent, where he has taught computing at undergraduate and postgraduate levels for the past thirty years, and was department head from 2002 to 2010; he is now Director for Research and Enterprise for the school.
His research work has centered on functional programming: program verification, type systems, and most recently development of software tools for functional programming languages. His team has built the HaRe tool for refactoring Haskell programs, and is currently developing Wrangler to do the same for Erlang. His research has been funded by various agencies including EPSRC and the European Framework programme. His training is as a mathematician: he has an MA in Mathematics from Cambridge and a D.Phil. in mathematical logic from Oxford.
He has written four books in his field of interest; Type Theory and Functional Programming published in 1991; Miranda: The Craft of Functional Programming (1995), Haskell: The Craft of Functional Programming (3rd ed. 2011) and Erlang Programming (with Francesco Cesarini, 2009). Apart from the last, which is published by O'Reilly, these are all published by Addison Wesley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gut geeignet zum Erlernen funktionaler Sprachen
Verified PurchaseDas Buch ist mir kürzlich beim Umräumen der Bücher in meinen IT Regalen noch einmal in die Hände gefallen. Dass man IT Bücger Klassiker nennen kann, geschieht ja recht selten, aber hier ist es so. Man lernt anhand der Sprache Haskell die Prinzipien der funktionalen Sprachen, und die werden in Kontext von Big Data immer wichtiger. Mir hat der Aufbau des Buches gut gefallen, der Autor zeigt vieles anhand von Beispielen. Anhand der Excercises kann man zusätzlich üben. Prima Buch für den Einstieg in funktionale Sprachen - immer noch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book
Verified PurchaseSimply one of the best books on Haskell you can purchase. Very well written with a tone of good examples. Perfectly structured, avoids the trap of being too introductory or too advanced. If you want to learn funcational programming you can start with this book and learn enough quick enough to be productive with it in a short time.
