I have to say that the final two chapters is where the book totally shines
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
First the author introduces what it means to reason about programs and shows how systematic thinking can be applied to designing a solution
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The way to do is by using induction and realizing that this systematic method can be applied to languages of ever increasing complexity is mindblowing moment in itself

Now the notsogood bits even though the books exemplifies how to break down problems into small pieces and how to compose small building blocks to create bigger and more complex haskell solutions it is definitely not enough for the working programmer
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
That is you will definitely learn a lot of important and critical haskell principles and techniques from this book but youll also miss a lot of other important aspects such as a stronger focus on typedriven program design in haskell building haskell projects and packages writing tests both traditional unit tests and extensive automated quickcheck style tests profiling your programs how to properly benchmark your programs more detailed parsing techniques and libraries webbased programming network programming and few more topics that will be important if youre working in a team of haskell developers working to produce software products and services for your customers

Having said that id still consider this second edition of programming in haskell by hutton to be perfectly suitable for a modern haskell introduction provided that it is backed up by a teacher in a classroom environment someone that can fill in the missing parts
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However then it would not have fit in so perfectly with the contents of the first edition
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I suspect that keeping the amount of white space the old edition had would have given an exaggerated impression of the size of the new book
