O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.
I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.

Ten Must-Have Haskell Libraries
IN THIS CHAPTER
Improving the user interface with sights and sounds
Manipulating data better
Working with algorithms
Haskell supports a broad range of libraries, which is why it’s such a good product to use. Even though this chapter explores a few of the more interesting Haskell library offerings, you should also check out the rather lengthy list of available libraries at http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/. Chances are that you’ll find a library to meet almost any need in that list.

The problem is figuring out precisely which library to use and, unfortunately, the Hackage site doesn’t really help much. The associated short descriptions are generally enough to get you pointed in the right direction, but experimentation is the only real way to determine whether a library will meet your needs. In addition, you should seek online reviews of the various libraries before you begin using them. Of course, that’s part of the pleasure of development: discovering new tools to meet specific needs and then testing them yourself.
