Andy,
Many thanks again - I'll make this my last post for at least a week or two (to give others some bandwidth) -
Well, if you are having difficulties learning the language, you really shouldn't hold back on asking questions, of course. So, please, do ask those questions. I can recommend visiting the #haskell IRC channel at irc.freenode.net: there are always lots of capable people out there that are willing to help you set those first steps in Haskell.
Good luck,
Stefan
Hi Stefan - thanks for this! I'm having a really good time getting into Haskell (and the resources and links that have been mentioned should be very useful too. :-) ( And yep - if I have problems I'll pop in a question or two to the list ;-) The other thing I'm "keeping tabs" on is the "ICFP" programming contest. I've known of that for quite a while (well before I started using Haskell), and even though the code of the winners is often pretty daunting, it's interesting as well - (and great to see the ingenious solutions that people come up with . ) Bye for now - - Andy
