There is no required text for this course. I am re-writing the
following book:
The Haskell School of Expression
-- Learning Functional Programming through Multimedia --
Paul Hudak
Cambridge University Press, (c) 2000
ISBN 0521644089
The new version will
be all about computer Music, learning Haskell along the way. The tentative
new title is, "The Haskell School of Music". I will provide drafts of this
book as they evolve. I do not recommend printing the book because things
will be changing rapidly, but that is your choice. I will keep you
posted on the status of the book below.
