Parallel and Concurrent Programming in Haskell – online beta

boothead · on July 24, 2013

This is a very welcome addition to my Haskell bookshelf. I bought the pdf version and it looks perfect on my ipad. I'm really glad to have the clickable version to have in a browser window as well. That seems a bit more convenient for finding stuff while coding.

Agreed; the PDF is absolutely beautiful, and a joy to read on my laptop, which is not something I can say of many of the ebooks I have bought.

O'Reilley have always been amazing when it comes to ebooks in my experience.

I've been unable to put the ePub version of the book down on my iPad/iPhone. I was excited to have syntax highlighting and pagination. Excellent book so far. Highly recommend buying it.

I'm a little confused. Is there any ability to comment? I can see the comment toggle on the top right but nothing in the page. I've seen commenting in other O'Reilly books [1, 2] but not sure how it works with this one.

EDIT: Found this http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/about and also realised I was getting the toggle the wrong way around. "Comments on" means they're on, not 'click to turn them on'. Then you click on a block of text to bring up a comment box.

I think the book is already being printed:
