5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent tutorial to the ML; great for beginners!, March 9, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Ml Primer (BCS Practitioner) (Paperback)
This primer is a fun and gentle read. An excellent tutorial for ML beginners. Highly recommended to people who are interested in learning more about the ML language and basic concepts in functional programming.
The author has a clear grasp and good understanding of his intended audience. His prose style is highly engaging.
I simply couldn't put the book down until I finished reading it. Yes, it's that fun! One of the best introductory programming language books around, on par with the "Little Lisper"!! It sure would make you want to learn more about functional programming in general.
This is a great textbook for undergrad computer science
introductory programming courses. I know most students
would appreciate it if there are more introductory books like this in computer science.
