[Haskell] ANNOUNCE: forthcoming O'Reilly book on Parallel and Concurrent Haskell

[Simon Marlow]

I'm delighted to announce that O'Reilly have agreed to publish a book on 
Parallel and Concurrent Haskell authored by me.  The plan is to make a 
significantly revised and extended version of the Parallel and 
Concurrent Haskell tutorial from CEFP'11:

http://community.haskell.org/~simonmar/bib/par-tutorial-cefp-2012_abstract.html

The book will be published in both hardcopy and electronic formats, and 
will also be available online under a Creative Commons license 
(Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0).  There will be some mechanism 
for people to see and comment on early drafts, but I don't know the 
details yet.

When will it be done?  I can't say for sure, but the tentative date for 
completion is March 2013.

I'm really keen for this to be a book that will be useful to people both 
learning about parallelism and concurrency in Haskell, and coding stuff 
for real-world use.  If there are topics or application areas that you'd 
like to see covered, or any other suggestions, please let me know.  All 
contributions will be acknowledged, of course!

Cheers,
	Simon
