Get started with Haskell, a functional programming language which—while it has a reputation for being a bit academic—can be practical and easy to learn. In this hands-on course, learn the basics of Haskell. Hakim Cassimally shows how to install and set up Haskell, and helps you get a feel for what this language can do by exploring Haskell using an interactive interpreter. Plus, he helps you apply what you've learned about functions and data types to create, set up, and polish a full project—a word game.
