Telford II Update: The code is now available at the apress site, so giving the book 4 stars. I am giving the book 1 star due to the following: 1. The back cover says "source code online". It is not available on the Apress or Springer sites. I called the support number. After 5 minutes of waiting with messages that "your call is important to us" I receive a message "Goodby" and was disconnected. I tried a second time with the same results. The printed book itself gets at least 4 stars, but without the source code the value is very diminished and I am put off the by support experience.
Book sponsored by horizontal lines By Maciej Pilichowski At first glance the format of the book looks as usual as it can be, but when you take the book in your hand, you notice something is off. I was curious and I put this book against the others -- yep, the book is taller and narrower than "regular" book.
I don't know why such change, but it makes reading harder because the inner margins are smaller, and around first pages and last pages you have to read in L position of the book -- i. While I am at technical issues -- there is no syntax highlighting of the code only the output is put in italics , and publisher is a huge fan of horizontal lines -- small snippet, comment, output, you name it, almost every page is slashed by horizontal lines. I didn't even realize how tiresome it is until I opened the next book I wanted to read Real World OCaml: Functional programming for the masses by O'Reilly , it is from another publisher, it does not use any lines and the first thought that comes to mind is -- peace.
My eyes can finally rest. Minor complain is quality of the typesetting, decades after inventing LaTeX, we still have to have text, where a word followed with colon looks like a squashed fly example p. Oh, well Ok, the content -- it is pretty thorough and complete.
The distinction between the language features and libraries or "F applied" is clear, there is no jumping back and forth. I really wish more of the language, and less of the libraries. In my experience, libraries come and go, but the language stays.
This is my personal bias and bad luck that the feature I was hoping to read the most takes just a few pages -- measure units. Here and in few other places authors decided to keep the text short and advise the reader to read more on the web. I really hate that notion of buying a book just to read I can use web browser to read more. Get the Expert F 4. Why should read?
