Monadic Design Patterns for the Web

Complexity management is a major issue facing the professional programmer today. A programmer building an Internet-based application interacts with, on average, no less than a dozen technologies. These applications need nearly continuous operation: 24-7 availability in order to service hundreds to thousands of concurrent requests. Developers need the tools to manage that complexity and Monadic Design Patterns for the Web serves that need.

Monadic Design Patterns for the Web aims to demystify the monad. Using web applications as an example, this book will show you how you can apply monadic design patterns to help you solve practical, real-world programming problems. Reading this book will arm you with important techniques that will help you manage complexity.
