Have you ever heard of a little book called "Haskell: A Gentle Introduction to Functional Programming" by Robert J. Thompson? If not, this article will help you recognize its importance and why you should consider it for your next course in programming. As a beginner, I was skeptical about learning a language like Java and found that it intimidated me. But after spending some time with the book and practicing the exercises, I found that I really liked it.

Unlike other text books on programming I have read, the one I am reviewing here goes into greater depth on each concept of the language. In fact, the book even discusses concepts that are not familiar to most beginners (such as using an abstraction), introduces new libraries that can make your life easier, and describes how to use these libraries together with an example of a program. The book is very thorough and covers every aspect of functional programming. The best part is that the book is easy to read and contains very few mistakes.
The main reason to read the book is to better understand the theory behind functional programming. You might be more familiar with object-oriented programming and can already use an abstraction to make your life easier. However, with this type of programming, you need to learn how to abstract from objects so that you can create higher-order functions. By learning about these concepts through a book, you will have a much better understanding of both languages. After you have become more acquainted with these languages, you will probably find that you can use both types of languages simultaneously.
