We won a Jolt Award!

March 12th, 2009 by Bryan O'Sullivan

I’m delighted to announce that at the SD West expo tonight, we were awarded the Jolt Award for “Best Book, Technical”, for Real World Haskell. It is wonderful to see our work recognised in this way. Thanks to everyone who has made our success possible! (Full award announcement).

    You deserved it. I’ve nearly finished reading RWH and can tell it is one of the best book I’ve ever read, really nice.

    So, congrats for you guys.

    It’s a great book, and the award is much deserved. Extra thanks for having it available online under an open licence.

    Congrats, I received the book 2 days ago (the original order was lost in the post :( ) It is great!

    Thanks for writing it. It read the whole thing over a period of about four weeks, but it will take probably a few years to absorb most its subtleties. I really enjoyed reading it. And thanks for letting the community be involved in the writing.

    Congratulations!
    Seems to me “Best Book, Technical” is really uncompromisingly about technical merit.

    [...] Thanks for everyone who attended my session on applied functional programming earlier this week at RockNUG.  This session was intended to reinforce the basics of thinking functionally and what techniques you can do right now to take advantage.  It was more of a subset of my workshop I gave at the Continuous Improvement in Software Conference last year, with the addition of a few items.  Of course I had to through in some Haskell as well and show off the Jolt Award winning book Real World Haskell.

    Fantastic job done on the book, guys. And well done on the award.
    Mayhaps, you have broken new ground in technical writing.

    Cheers,
    Piers Harding.

    Thanks guys for writing a great technical book and making it available online. I just bought a hardcopy because of it.

    Congratulations!!! You deserved it…

    [...] 我开始学习Haskell时用的就是那本曾获得过Jolt Award 大奖的《Real World Haskell 》影印版，书很厚，是本Haskell大全。但后来发现似乎不太适合初学者。随后又在网上搜索资料，找到了Graham Hutton 编写的《Programming in Haskell 》这本教程。与《Real World Haskell》比起来，《Programming in Haskell》这本书就显得“单薄”了许多，加起来总共不到200页。不过这本书却非常适合函数式编程和Haskell的初学者，因为这本书是基于英国诺丁汉大学课程讲义编制而成，经过了多年实际教学检验，并且在这本书的官方主页上还可以下载到与书配套的讲义幻灯片和习题答案。 [...]
