Haskell Cookbook. Build functional applications using Monads, Applicatives, and Functors
Yogesh Sajanikar
Haskell is a purely functional language that has the great ability to develop large and difficult, but easily maintainable software.Haskell Cookbook provides recipes that start by illustrating the principles of functional programming in Haskell, and then gradually build up your expertise in creating industrial-strength programs to accomplish any goal. The book covers topics such as Functors, Applicatives, Monads, and Transformers. You will learn various ways to handle state in your application and explore advanced topics such as Generalized Algebraic Data Types, higher kind types, existential types, and type families. The book will discuss the association of lenses with type classes such as Functor, Foldable, and Traversable to help you manage deep data structures.With the help of the wide selection of examples in this book, you will be able to upgrade your Haskell programming skills and develop scalable software idiomatically.

Design patterns and idioms can widen our perspective byshowing us where to look, what to look at, and ultimatelyhow to see what we are looking at. At their best, patternsare a shorthand method of communicating better waysto code (writing less, more maintainable, and moreefficient code)This book starts with Haskell 98 and through the lens ofpatterns and idioms investigates the key advances andprogramming styles that together make modern Haskell.Your journey begins with the three pillars of Haskell.Then you'll experience the problem with Lazy I/O, togetherwith a solution. You'll also trace the hierarchy formedby Functor, Applicative, Arrow, and Monad. Next you'llexplore how Fold and Map are generalized by Foldableand Traversable, which in turn is unified in a broadercontext by functional Lenses. You'll delve more deeply intothe Type system, which will prepare you for an overviewof Generic programming. In conclusion you go to theedge of Haskell by investigating the Kind system andhow this relates to Dependently-typed programming

Haskell, with its power to optimize the code and its high performance, is a natural candidate for high performance programming. It is especially well suited to stacking abstractions high with a relatively low performance cost. This book addresses the challenges of writing efficient code with lazy evaluation and techniques often used to optimize the performance of Haskell programs. We open with an in-depth look at the evaluation of Haskell expressions and discuss optimization and benchmarking. You will learn to use parallelism and we'll explore the concept of streaming. We’ll demonstrate the benefits of running multithreaded and concurrent applications. Next we’ll guide you through various profiling tools that will help you identify performance issues in your program. We’ll end our journey by looking at GPGPU, Cloud and Functional Reactive Programming in Haskell. At the very end there is a catalogue of robust library recommendations with code samples.By the end of the book, you will be able to boost the performance of any app and prepare it to stand up to real-world punishment.

High Availability is something that all web sites hope to achieve, especially those that are linked to big companies.MySQL, an open source relational database management system (RDBMS), can be made highly available to protect from corruption, hardware failure, software crashes, and user error. Running a MySQL setup is quite simple. Things start getting complex when you start thinking about the best way to provide redundancy. There are a large number of techniques available to add 'redundancy' and 'high availability' to MySQL, but most are both poorly understood and documented.This book will provide you with recipes showing how to design, implement, and manage a MySQL Cluster and achieve high availability using MySQL replication, block level replication, shared storage, and the open source Global File System (GFS).This book covers all the major techniques available for increasing availability of your MySQL databases. It demonstrates how to design, implement, troubleshoot and manage a highly available MySQL setup using any one of several techniques, which are shown in different recipes. It is based on MySQL Cluster 7.0, MySQL (for non clustered recipes) 5.0.77, and CentOS / RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.3.The book starts by introducing MySQL Cluster as a technology and explaining how to set up a simple cluster. It will help you to master the options available for backing up and restoring a file in the MySQL Cluster. By following the practical examples in this book, you will learn how to manage the MySQL Cluster. Further, we will discuss some troubleshooting aspects of the MySQL Cluster.We also have a look at achieving high availability for MySQL databases with the techniques of MySQL Replication, block level replication, shared storage (a SAN or NAS), and DRBD.Finally, you will learn the principles of Performance tuning and tune MySQL database for optimal performance.
