Real World OCaml: Functional Programming for the Masses

This fast-moving tutorial introduces you to OCaml, an  industrial-strength programming language designed for expressiveness,  safety, and speed. Through the book's many examples, you'll quickly  learn how OCaml stands out as a tool for writing fast, succinct, and  readable systems code using functional programming. Real World OCaml  takes you through the concepts of the language at a brisk pace, and then  helps you explore the tools and techniques that make OCaml an effective  and practical tool. You'll also delve deep into the details of the  compiler toolchain and OCaml's simple and efficient runtime system. This  second edition brings the book up to date with almost a decade of  improvements in the OCaml language and ecosystem, with new chapters  covering testing, GADTs, and platform tooling. This title is also  available as open access on Cambridge Core, thanks to the support of  Tarides. Their generous contribution will bring more people to OCaml.
