✦ Synopsis

A practical guide for learning functional programming directly through the diagrams used to define functions, this book describes, and provides access to, a system that gives a level of support akin to that provided in word processing. The approach used allows the schematic diagrams used in program design to be directly translated into usable code, thus skipping a potential source of error in interpretation, and also alleviating many of the problems of 'errors in syntax'.
