Welcome to Real World Haskell
This is the online home of the book “Real World Haskell”. We are currently finishing the book, and regularly post drafts of beta chapters for public review. Please let us know what you think of our work!
The book will be published by O'Reilly Media. A final publication date has not yet been set, but we expect it to be available around the end of October.

What's that creature on the cover?
The illustration on our cover is of a Hercules beetle. These beetles are among the largest in the world. They are also, in proportion to their size, the strongest animals on Earth, able to lift up to 850 times their own weight. Needless to say, we like the association with a creature that has such a high power-to-weight ratio.
