商品簡介
Smith, a programmer in the financial industry, introduces OCaml, a general purpose programming language used in industries ranging from microchip fabrication to financial analysis. He overviews the OCaml installation process and the interactive OCaml interpreter as a framework for exploring the language's syntax, semantics, and types. He also covers advanced features such as the documentation-generation tool, threading, and the Camlp4 preprocessor. Examples focus on OCaml-driven applications capable of performing complex log-file processing, web crawling, filtering spam, and broadcasting audio over a network using the Shoutcast protocol.
