I'm having problems finding a good introduction to exceptions. Yet Another Haskell Tutorial leaves it for chapter 10, which is empty. I'd prefer something that suits a noob. :-)
Something from here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Books_and_tutorials#Practical_Haskell
Perhaps: http://research.microsoft.com/%7Esimonpj/Papers/marktoberdorf
That second link, "Tackling the awkward squad..." should be required reading material for anyone planning to use haskell for "real-world" stuff. The reader doesn't even need to know that much Haskell to benefit from it. It and "All about monads" are both very nice because they are accessible to the beginner but still contain useful ideas, examples and idioms for the intermediate haskell programmer. I've also noticed that programmers coming from imperative backgrounds seem to digest "Tackling the awkward squad..." fairly well and it seems to answer their need to understand the IO monad. Jason
