Readings for Learning SML

Standard ML is a mostly functional programming language.

Learning SML

The following are good books for learning SML. I have used Paulson's book effectively with Computer Science graduate students. Ullman's book is more introductory, and may be more suitable for less experienced programmers.

Laurence C. Paulson. ML for the Working Programmer. Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 1991.
Jeffry D. Ullman. Elements of ML Programming. Prentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1994.
