@RebeccaSkinner

Welcome to our latest author spotlight, where we sit down with Rebecca Skinner, author of Effective Haskell. This book puts the power of Haskell to work in your programs, learning from an engineer who uses Haskell daily to get practical work done efficiently. Discover how to realize the benefits of a pure functional language, like protecting your code from side effects. Learn to employ advanced programming concepts to solve real-world problems. Don’t just learn the syntax, but dive deeply into Haskell as you build efficient, well-tested programs.

This is also an AMA. Everyone commenting or asking a question will automatically be entered into our draw to win a copy of Rebecca’s book!
