New PureScript Book: Functional Programming Made Easier

I read through the sample.

Congratulations on finishing this work. I have no doubts that it’s well worth its price and deserves all the love it gets.

For me (experienced in Haskell and PureScript) it would be interesting to have a sample of some of the later chapters. I expect there is still a lot of stuff for me to learn and would probe one of the later chapters to arrive at a judgement on how useful this book would be for me.

Also, the way you structured the book, it might be useful as a reference, too.

I think I can recommend this book for anyone who

  • wants to learn PureScript
  • wants to get into functional programming
  • gets started with programming w/o any experience in any other language.

I share your sentiment that PureScript is the ideal language to get into (functional) programming concepts.

Another question: am I right to assume that an html version does not exist? (not even behind a paywall)

This would allow to always read the latest version, share links to specific pages, include clickable hyperlinks in the text, bookmark stuff in the browser and eventually even add features like user comments and interactive exercises.

You are correct. There is no HTML version. The PDF version has a clickable Table of Contents though.
