a reliable tutorial on monads and, if not, could you recommend an onlien alternative please?
I strongly recommend the original papers by Philip Wadler, especially this one: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/wadler95monads.html IMHO it still beats almost everything that's been written lately, including the wikibook chapter you asked about (which I personally don't like at all). My other standard recommendation is http://sigfpe.blogspot.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monads-and.html but I'd read the above paper first. Cheers Ben
