Real-world functional programming

What Hacker News says

   This! Other good books are ”Expert F#” by Granicz, Syme & Cisternino, ”Real world functional programming” by Petricek and ”F# for scientists” by Harrop. The last is old but still really great in succintly explaining what ’new&unfamiliar’ structures in F# are great for pragmatic software engineering.

   Why is there so little noise in F# land? I have no data, but I can guess that the language is so unproblematic that everybody is just happily coding instead of explaining how to fix something. It’s also not very good at guis so there is usually nothing visual to demonstrate.

   Get Programming with F# is finally done, and looks pretty good

   https://www.manning.com/books/get-programming-with-f-sharp

   Real-World Functional Programming With examples in F# and C# is another good one

   https://www.manning.com/books/real-world-functional-programm...

   The NoStarch Book of F# is a pretty decent beginner's book

   Would second the vote for F# Deep Dives as well.

   'F# for scientists' by Jon Harrop is excellen. It's a bit pricey, but provided tremendous value on the how and why of functional paradigms within the scope of practical, brief programs.

   'Expert F#' by Don Syme et all is a fantastic reference.

   Real World Functional programming by Tomas Petricek is very good as well.

   'Programming language concepts' by Peter Sestoft is fantastic as well, as programming languages are perhaps the most obvious domain where functional approach shine, and the concepts are needed everywhere even though one was not implementing an interpreter.

   If you come from a C# background I really enjoy the book Real World Functional Programming [1]. The way it lays out samples side by side with C# and F# is pretty great and really helped me start to understand functional programming and F#.

   The only book I found about the subject that is really good -> Real World Functional Programming: With examples in F# and C#

   https://www.amazon.com/Real-World-Functional-Programming-Tom...

   Also, check FSharp For Fun and Profit. Lots of details and tutorials about F# -> https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com also available as e-book -> https://www.gitbook.com/book/swlaschin/fsharpforfunandprofit...

   These are the resources I am using

   1a. fsharpforfunandprofit.com

   1b. pluralsight

   2. www.hackerrank.com (functional programming section - excercises)

   3. There are lot of good books,

   Real World Functional Programming

   F# Deep Dives

   Learning F# Functional Data Structures and Algorithms

   honestly, you cannot wrong with any of the books in F#, they are very likely to be good.
