Functional Design and Architecture

What Hacker News says

   So... why should I buy a $35 introductory programming book in 2024?

   Here are some free introductory Rust books:

     - The Rust Book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/
     - Rust 101: https://www.ralfj.de/projects/rust-101/main.html
     - Rust by Example: https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/
     - Easy Rust: https://dhghomon.github.io/easy_rust/
     - A Gentle Introduction to Rust: https://stevedonovan.github.io/rust-gentle-intro/
   

   Although I typically show people Rustlings, because it teaches programming workflow.

   What am I getting for $35 that isn't covered excellently for free already?

   Here are some books I spent money on in the last 5 years:

     - Functional Design and Architecture, by Alexander Granin
     - Production Haskell, by Matt Parsons
     - Thinking with Types, by Sandy Maguire
   

   Being a seasoned developer, I would pay money for someone to fast-forward me through advanced concepts.

   Here are some examples of free Rust books covering advanced examples:

     - The Rustonomicon: https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nomicon/
     - Rust Design Patterns: https://rust-unofficial.github.io/patterns/
     - Effective Rust: https://www.lurklurk.org/effective-rust/
     - Rust Atomics and Locks: https://marabos.nl/atomics/foreword.html
     - The Little Book of Rust Macros: https://danielkeep.github.io/tlborm/book/index.html
     - Burn: Deep Learning Framework: https://burn.dev/burn-book/
     - API Development with Rust: https://rust-api.dev/docs/front-matter/preface/
     - Rust Compiler Development Guide: https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html
   

   I'd pay money for any of those. Not sure about an introductory book, considering the availability of good, free books.

   >for doing real world Haskell?

   Haven't read it but there's a book called "Real World Haskell", which I thought was funny considering your question. Right now I'm really enjoying "Functional Design and Architecture"[1] by Alexander Granin (it does assume you've already got some experience). In addition, make sure to revisit Stephen Diehls "What I Wish I Knew When Learning Haskell"[2].

   The book "Real World Haskell" is outdated.

   I'll take a look at that functional design and architecture. THanks.
