Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasaki. It was my first exposure to a language with a strong type system, type inference, and data structures in a functional language. It was off to the races for me after that.

Best investment ever. I make it a point to do 1 live course every week, even if its a repetition (read:revision) of an already done older course. Have been doing this since last 2 years, even though its a hefty cost on my pocket, the learning is great.

3rd Edition. Fehily.
Just checked that book, the 3rd edition is from 2008. I understand that the basics would remain same, but can anyone recommend a latest version of the stuff in it?
I get your concern, I've found that while it doesn't have CTE's and other modern things it's enough to get people rolling unattended.
That being said... man I wish they would update it.
