Hi Philip When I started learning Haskell, it took me couple of months ( I guess 3 to 4 ) to write some thing valuable although I had prior experience of C , C++ , python and Java so just keep trying because It's one of the best language. If you have interest in problem solving then try solving some easy problems of Project Euler <http://projecteuler.net/problems> ( probably first 50 problems are good enough ). After finishing the "Learn you Haskell", you can try Real World Haskell<http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/index.html>and this book contains lots of examples so you can try reading/writing/modification of given codes. Good luck, Mukesh On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 8:14 AM, Philip Cote <cotejrp@gmail.com> wrote:
So a week into Haskell, I still seem to be not “getting” it which is kind of weird in my case. I came in with knowledge of a lot of functional ideas from using them in Javascript and Python. Or at least I thought I knew them.
5 chapters into "Learn You a Haskell", I admit it's not really sinking in for me even after typing in and running all the examples. I acknowledge that I don't know jack. Any ideas or exercises that might help me along?
