At the department we use Haskell for several courses and as a modelling tool in master- and PhD-thesis. A few years ago Damir Medak held a short internal workshop to answer most of the beginners questions and I created a tutorial text from his material. The tutorial could be useful for beginners because it contains lots of examples to explain the concepts. Included are function definition, lists, data types and polymorphism. Excluded are aspects of efficiency and user interaction (esp. monadic programming). The tutorial can be found here as a PDF-File: ftp://ftp.geoinfo.tuwien.ac.at/navratil/HaskellTutorial.pdf I hope you find the tutorial useful and I would be glad to get some feedback for further improvement.
