Most people from the haskell-beginners IRC channel that did FP101x didn't like it as much as the cis194 -> NICTA course progression. One common complaint was the tedious homework. Another was that it seemed like a thin layer over Hutton's book. Exercises are a prominent part of cis194 and NICTA course - they're not easy either. But those exercises don't feel unfair, trifling, or trivial in the way FP101x's homework did. 

As a result, I don't recommend FP101x. I would like to see more and better multimedia resources for learning Haskell. Some people take to audio/video more readily.

Follow the next session of FP101x Introduction to Functional Programming (https://courses.edx.org/courses/DelftX/FP101x/3T2014/).  This session is almost over, but the material is still available and a member of the staff has claimed that they will offer the course again, but there is no definite date.

I usually point people to my guide here: https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell

And tell them to do cis194 and then the NICTA course.
