ok, cool. I bought a hard-copy of "Real World Haskell". I'm interested though in "flipping the switch" to more functional thinking. Any recommendations on abook that would help toward that end? Hi,

Real World Haskell is more about applying Haskell to real problems. If you are more interested in training your functional way of thinking I would recommend the book"Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell" by Richard Bird. It's not an easy read but the time working through it is well worth spending. Philipp

It's a good book - the only reservation I would have in recommending it is that it is a "work through" book, you have to work through the book in order to get its benefit. With say "Real World Haskell" you can skip and skim chapters if you don't find them so interesting.

Also, you might want to check that you can find and run the SOE "School of Expression" graphics software, it might not be compatible with current GUI toolkits.
