Welcome

Thank you so much for purchasing the MEAP for Learn Haskell by Example. Learning Haskell is a journey worth embarking on, be it for the preparation for a job in software, interest in the more abstract concepts in functional programming or out of sheer curiosity. Even if you might never use Haskell professionally, its features and unique approach will not only teach you valuable lessons on how to structure functional programs but also make you think about program safety and dealing with architectural problems in a completely new way.

Haskell is unique in many ways and generally helps us as developers to write safer and cleaner code that can more easily be checked against specifications and be more thoroughly tested, making the language a popular choice when programs are simply not allowed to crash!
