Hello all, Often we see messages from people who want to learn Haskell (something we applaud), but don't know where to begin. The Haskell homepage offers a lot of information, links and papers, but there is no page aimed specifically at beginning programmers. That's why I started to collect some links and put them on one single webpage. I thought about what the target audience would be interested in: getting an implementation, buying a book, reading course material, looking up functions in references and so on. The page I have now is a first start and I will work on it more. I've probably overseen many good tutorials, maybe a book here or there, listed an incorrect pro or con of an implementation and what not. Please tell me about it. If you have useful contributions ( nice slides, exercises with(out) solutions, some handout you give to your students which everyone could benefit from ) tell me about it, too. Enough talk: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~afie/haskell/LearningHaskell.html Cheers, Arjan PS: As one of the people in the Helium team I would not recommend beginners to use Helium yet. The absence of classes which leads to simpler types and messages is just not compatible with the text books and other teaching materials. Our plan is to add enough support for classes so that you can use the books without modification. This can be expected this summer. From that moment on, I will definitely recommend Helium to beginners since the feedback from the system is really great.
