📖 Spent today updating the Sockets and Pipes book to change all the references from RFC 7230 to RFC 9112. Mildly annoying; I didn't expect a new revision of HTTP 1.1 to come out. But I think the new documents are better written, so overall a positive <❤️>

Just downloaded my copy. Great to see the additions to the web server course: handles, bytestrings, encodings, STM. w00t!

I love STM, I think it's an incredible tool, it gets a bit of flak for being slower than other mutable-state tools in Haskell, but the safety it gives you is 100% worth it for my projects 🙌

In chapter 9, we move on from plain text ASCII responses and use new content types: UTF-8 (the `text` library), HTML (the `blaze-html` library), and JSON (the `aeson` library). Includes exercises about when typeclass-based API is appropriate and why type ambiguity occurs.

Chapter 8 is all about constructing HTTP responses, imagining ourselves in the position of a web server library author. Along the way, a little side trip about the different types of integers arises. As our web server is coming together, we do some more testing with curl.

In chapter 6, we read through the HTTP specification and write Haskell types.
Chapter 7 uses the bytestring library's Builder type to write encoding functions for these types, with some digressions to discuss some simple performance testing and the ever-useful foldMap function.

if you've played around with Haskell, doing some really nifty things with lists, but, like me, didn't know where to turn next to learn how to use the language for an actual application, I enthusiastically suggest leanpub.com/finding-succes

Just finished 's succinct "Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell". Exactly the intro material I needed to get my bearings in haskell-land.

The print version of Finding Success should be available soon. We wanted to make the fonts bigger, so we've ordered a second proof to make sure everything turns out fine. Assuming it does, it'll be available for sale on Lulu.com within the next few days.
