So I'm picking up Haskell bit by bit, and I found the code examples transpiring here most useful. Reflecting why it's harder to pick up Haskell than say Ruby or Python, here's what I found -- those languages deal with a typical domain available to any programmer -- his own computer/system/shell. The artifacts are files, directories, timestamps, etc. The stuff every programmer understands in their sleep. APIs. So I loved the shell-script beautification thread. That's how I learn about new modules and their functions -- as use cases. I also found some pieces of Haskell strewn around people's websites, blogs, forums; even at paste.lisp.org. I'm gathering them for my own purpose and trying to compile and run them. Wouldn't it be nice -- in case it doesn't exist already -- a[n O'Reilly[-like]] Haskell Cookbook? That would be the best way to learn Haskell. I've found a wikibook on Haskell, but I look for a big bag of small, self-contained programs. Perhaps you esteemed veterans can dig your small scripts and paste them into a wiki? Examples needed -- how to connect to a database; to a web service (e.g. Amazon); read a csv file; represent data equivalent to a directory listing; a text file/XML; etc... Cheers, Alexy
