Hello again Mr. Subramaniam,

Would you recommend reading a primer on functional programming before reading your book?
Also, do you have a recommended functional programming follow-up book to read after yours?

Hi Kent,

I strongly recommend reading from multiple sources. On any given topic, I often read at least three to five different books and many articles.
However, I am a huge fan of trying out examples. My general ratio is an hour of reading and five or more hours of coding. YMMV. Pick books
that interest you and meet your specific needs, but definitely I would suggest reading more than one.

Thanks,

Venkat
