I would like to do more with OCaml, but I must admit the lack of well written books available for OCaml has limited the amount of time I've worked with it. I know that I can expand my knowledge base in Scala and Haskell quite easily with many great books, but the only book listed in Amazon has poor reviews. If a great OCaml guru/teacher wrote a great book, I'm sure it would have great sales on Amazon (I'd buy it :) Adam -- Nephtali: A simple, flexible, fast, and security-focused PHP framework http://nephtaliproject.com --20cf300e5501e2230904ae861525 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On Tue, Oct 4, 2011 at 6:02 PM, Alain Frisch <alain@frisch.fr> wrote:
