### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Accessible tutorial style that is actually deeper than one initially thinks
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 December 2014*

Coming from a Python background and wanting to learn OCaml, I have found this book to be very accessible as a tutorial - far more so than the Real World OCaml which, though excellent, is dive-into-the-deepend stuff quite fast, and also mixed in with too many Jane Street specifics too soon. Here is a great book to get you started on the learning curve of OCaml. As the other reviewers said, it's deceptively easy going, but actually these light chapters are quite dense if you go through some of the latter questions at the end of each.What I like most about it is that it has that concise, incremental, orthogonally organised feeling that mirrors what I expect to get out of functional programming itself.One could argue that it is a mite expensive for a 190 page book that uses a lot of whitespace (that's a positive for organization and readability, as an aside), but then OCaml is not really mainstream and one has to accept that this book will have a relatively low print run, and therefore I won't begrudge it a star on this point as I would much rather pay a few pounds more and have this book exist.
