This book is a very good introduction to Monad. I had played around with the betas for a while but did not have a good feel for the language comming from vbscript instead of the unix, C, PERL, or C# worlds. The book's tutorial sytle made it easy to get comfortable with the language. The book is relative small. I read it in a day. I just wish they had added a few more tables in the book along with the web links they give.

"Monad is something of a pleasant surprise. It's powerful, flexible and easy to learn. And, for those eager to dive in and get started this little book from O'Reilly is an excellent tutorial and introduction."
