Developing Web Applications with Haskell and Yesod
This fast-moving guide introduces web application development with Haskell and Yesod, a potent language/framework combination that supports high-performing applications that are modular, type-safe, and concise. You’ll work with several samples to explore the way Yesod handles widgets, forms, persistence, and RESTful content. You also get an introduction to various Haskell tools to supplement your basic knowledge of the language.
Build a simple application to learn Yesod’s foundation datatype and Web Application Interface (WAI)
Use Shakespearean template languages for HTML, CSS, and Javascript output
Produce cleaner, more modular code by learning how Yesod monads interact
Implement the yesod-form declarative API to build forms on top of widgets
Learn how Yesod and Haskell store session data and handle persistence
Use techniques to serve an HTML page and a machine-friendly JSON page from the same URL
Create reusable components for several applications with Yesod subsites
By the time you finish this book, you’ll create a production-quality web application with Yesod’s ready-to-use scaffolding. You’ll also examine several real-world examples, including a blog, a wiki, a JSON web service, and a Sphinx search server. Download eBook Free »

With SharePoint 2010, developers can create richer, more compelling, and more efficient user interfaces than ever before. This book teaches experienced ASP.NET developers how to build them with Silverlight 5 – the easiest, cleanest way to get the job done. Utilizing fully explained code listings, two Microsoft insiders teach everything developers they need to know. They teach key concepts through the creation of useful working solutions, and present code that teaches superior design as well as efficient programming. You can start from the beginning if you’re new to both SharePoint and Silverlight, or skip the first few chapters if you’re already familiar with developing for either or both of them. After explaining the tight integration between SharePoint 2010 and Silverlight 5, the authors show how to use Silverlight to overcome key limitations of “sandboxing”; design more secure, scalable SharePoint solutions; and choose the right approaches to accessing data from Silverlight.
