They provide a discount for Graham Hutton‘s Programming in Haskell, the text for the series, as well. Go check it out here!

Have any of you worked in the collective intelligence space? If so, with what languages, and what was your experience?

I went through the tutorial this weekend and thought some of you might also be interested. Eric gives reasons for using functional programming (fp) over conventional object-oriented programming (oop); his most common reason is for performing transformations of data from one sort to another. Other highlights are more in-depth looks at extension methods, Linq and Office Open XML. (While you might wonder why you’d use fp instead of XSLT, the concepts can also apply to transforming objects/collections to other objects/collections using lazy evaluation and deferred execution).
