Manlio,
We live in the age of participation -- of co-education. Don't worry about text-books. Contribute to some wiki pages & blogs today that share these smart techniques with others.
When I started learning Haskell (by my initiative), what I did was: 1) Quick reading of the first tutorial I found on the wiki. http://darcs.haskell.org/yaht/yaht.pdf, if i remember correctly 2) Quick reading the Haskell Report 3) Reading another tutorial: http://www.haskell.org/tutorial/ 4) Reading again the Haskell Report 5) A lot of time spent finding good tutorials. Yet, I did not knew what monads were, I just felt that monads were some strange and advanced feature ... A period where I stop looking for Haskell 6) Found some good tutorial about what monads are, but yet I did not knew anything about state monads, monad transformers, and so. ... Another period were I stop looking for Haskell 7) The Real Word Haskell book. Finally in one book all "advanced" concepts. I read the book online. I found the book good, but i think it is too dispersive in some chapters. I already forgot some of the concepts I read, mostly because in some chapter I get annoyed, and started skipping things, or reading it quickly. I will buying a copy in May, at Pycon Italy (were there will be a stand by O'Really), so that I can read it again. 8) New impetus at learning Haskell. I read again the Haskell Report, and the "A Gentle Introduction to Haskell". I finally started to understand how things works 7) Start to write some "real" code. I now I'm able to understand much of the code I read. But for some kind of code I still have problems. Manlio
