    <p>It has been quite some time now that RWH came out (<strong>almost 3 years</strong>). I was eager to get my copy after following the incremental writing of the book online (which is, I think, one of the best ways to write a book.) What a rewarding read in the midst of all the rather academic papers a haskell student usually encounters! </p> <p>It was a sturdy companion on quite some trips and I refer back to it regularly. Still, my copy started to look <em>pretty battered</em> and even though most of the content is still valid, there has been an abundance of new topics in the haskell world that would be worth covering in a similar fashion.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Ymnqf.jpg" alt="my battered copy of rwh"></p> <p>Considering the impact RWH had (and still has,) I sincerely hope that there will be a sequel some day :) Some of the topics for a sequel that would immediately come to my mind:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Iteratees</strong></li> <li>more on <strong>concurrent programming</strong> in haskell</li> <li>merits and dangers of <strong>lazy evaluation</strong> <ul> <li>possibly covering some common libraries that deal with this</li> <li>in particular lazy io</li> </ul></li> <li>new <strong>ghc features</strong> (e.g. the new I/O Manager, LLVM code generator)</li> <li><strong>Memoization</strong></li> <li>..</li> </ul> <p>What are the topics that the haskell community needs a RWH-style explanation for?</p> <hr> <p><em>this is a summary of the suggestions so far:</em></p> <p><strong>Concepts</strong></p> <ul> <li>Iteratees / lazy IO</li> <li>Arrows</li> <li>ghc event manager</li> </ul> <p><strong>Techniques</strong></p> <ul> <li>generics (uniplate, syb)</li> <li>metaprogramming (Template Haskell)</li> <li>data structures (use of functional datastructures, designing data structures)</li> <li>EDSLs (designing EDSLs)</li> <li>memoization</li> <li>designing with monads</li> <li>best practices for imperative programming</li> </ul> <p><strong>Tools</strong></p> <ul> <li>ThreadScope</li> <li>Advanced FFI tools (c2hs, using Haskell from C)</li> <li>cabal</li> <li>haddock</li> <li>hoogle</li> <li>Tuning the runtime, esp.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
