While set up as an introductory book to languages of the Haskell family, the book actually has a fair share of theory which modern tutorials of Haskell lack. Bird and Wadler 1st ed.
Introduction to Functional Programming by Richard S. Bird
Michael rated it it was amazing Mar 17, The book is self-contained, assuming no prior knowledge of programming and is suitable as an introductory undergraduate text for first- programking second-year students.
Julie Harmon rated it it was amazing Mar 24, No trivia or quizzes yet. Trivia About Introduction to F I can understand that as well.
It presents a simple model of evaluation, discusses efficiency e. There are other authors named Richard Bird: Read the first edition, since subsequent editions are rewritten more in the “programming language overview” style.

Jobaer Chowdhury rated it it was amazing Apr 15, The four instead of five stars is because, unfor I highly recommend the book to biird looking for a solid base of functional programming theory. I probably should read it again but If I recall well Monads and Lenses were not explicitly explained in book or course. In the popular literature about Haskell a lot of digital ink is spilled over Monads, but really they’re no big deal conceptually.
On the other hand the implications of Monadic computations are far-reaching. Language-agnostic to the extent that most code can be easily translated to most modern functional programming languages.
Bar Shirtcliff rated it really liked it Feb 14, Lists with This Book. Eduardo rated it really liked it Jul 13, The focus is mainly on the theoretical side, being many of the functtional proofs. As a functionap point, the technique of program specification and derivation by inverse functions is elegantly described, easily mechanized, and of lasting value.
Related to this I have seen interviews with Eric Meijer where he talked about preferring the first edition of this book because is was more conceptual and not Haskell specific.

I think I should have read it better in Same guy who also brought you generics with type erasure in Java. Tom rated it really liked it Aug 04, Adolfo rated it functiobal it Jun 04, Daniel rated it really liked it Feb 01, Thanks for telling us about the problem.
It uses a Functional Language that looks Introductioon Miranda. All in all, it is an excellent book with which to hone theory, and for that I can’t recommend it enough.
Chris rated it really liked it Dec 07, That said, SICP is a comprehensive overview of the essence of computer science narrated using Scheme and functional programming, while Bird and Wadler is a tutorial in functional abstractions and type-directed programming through Miranda, a precursor to Haskell.
Pepe rated it it was amazing Nov 07, Mace Ousley rated it it was amazing Nov 04, I have started reading the first book as a PDF and can see his point.
Published by Prentice Hall first published January 1st Daouda Traore rated it really liked it Nov introductiin, It is also a book, meaning some things are outdated. Jun 18, Karl rated it really liked it Shelves: What was great about the treatment was that each new concept was introduced with little fanfare. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.
Nowadays probably Haskell would be used. For me, this was a great book for learning Haskell. Look up some of his presentations on YouTube Introduction to Functional Programming by Richard S.
