I highly recommend Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasaki. It really opened my mind when I was starting out in functional programming. Highly relevant to many modern problems.
Yeah that book is one of the most important book in functional world
Anyone know of an online reference with this sort of material? Not huge on book collecting these days, and freer is better.
The Clojure source code for its data structures.
I am still patiently waiting for a more up-to-date of Okasaki's classic with examples written in Haskell.
The original had all examples written in Haskell, albeit in an appendix.
That was an awesomely formatted webpage! Which toolkit did the author use, and what were diagrams drawn with?
