Will there be a print version?
The short answer is: we hope so; we’re working on it.
The slightly longer answer is that it didn’t make sense to worry about that too much while the majority of the book wasn’t written yet. We’ve been churning and adding new material quickly, and to maintain that speed, we had to delay giving serious thought to printing. That said, we hope to make it happen. We do have our early access buyers in mind and will offer them discount codes for the print book when it is available if the publisher/printer allows it.
At 1200+ pages it’s best considered as a long term project.
Note that because of it’s age Real World Haskell may be more frustration than it’s worth especially from a beginner perspective.
In the short term, according to the TOC, Learning Functional Programming with Elixir does seem to hit all the right spots:
- Pattern matching
- Recursion
- Higher Order Functions
(…but that’s all I can say because I don’t actually have access to it)
You can always have a look at the source code to see if it’s not advanced enough for you.
