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 ( probably first 50 problems are good enough ). After finishing the "Learn you Haskell", you can try Real World Haskell and this book contains lots of examples so you can try reading/writing/modification of given codes.

Good luck,

Mukesh

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?
