Acknowledgments

Writing a book is an enormous undertaking, and the author is just one of many people essential to making sure the project is a success. The first people I have to thank are those who supported me both emotionally and intellectually during this great adventure. My wife, Lisa, and son, Archer, have been incredibly patient with my long hours of work and endlessly encouraging of me all along the way. I also have to thank my dear friends Dr. Richard Kelley and Xavier Bengoechea, who were a constant source of feedback, support, and intellectual stimulation. This book never would have happened if it weren’t for my graduate advisor, Dr. Fred Harris, giving me the amazing opportunity to teach Haskell to a group of excited undergraduates. Additionally, I want to thank my fellow coworkers at Quick Sprout: Steve Cox, Ian Main, and Hiten Shah, who endured my rambling endlessly about Haskell for the last year.
