I/O-stripped version of hugs can be runned in such way btw, i send to newcomers the following recommendations: ======================================================== i can recommend you two books for beginners: "Gentle inroduction to Haskell" http://www.haskell.org/tutorial/haskell-98-tutorial-html.tar.gz "Yet Another Haskell Tutorial" by Hal Daume III http://www.isi.edu/~hdaume/htut/tutorial.pdf and book + PowerPoint tutorial by Graham Hutton: http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/preview.pdf http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/mgs-appsem1.ppt http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/mgs-appsem2.ppt http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/mgs-appsem3.ppt http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/mgs-appsem-exam.pdf http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/countdown.pdf btw, in the "another haskell tutorial" we can read: There have been many books and tutorials written about Haskell; for a (nearly) complete list, visit the http://haskell.org/bookshelf (Haskell Bookshelf) at the Haskell homepage. A brief survey of the tutorials available yields: - A Gentle Introduction to Haskell is an introduction to Haskell, given that the reader is familiar with functional programming en large. - Haskell Companion is a short reference of common concepts and definitions. - Online Haskell Course is a short course (in German) for beginning with Haskell. - Two Dozen Short Lessons in Haskell is the draft of an excellent textbook that emphasizes user involvement. - Haskell Tutorial is based on a course given at the 3rd International Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming. - Haskell for Miranda Programmers assumes knowledge of the language Miranda. - PLEAC-Haskell is a tutorial in the style of the Perl Cookbook. ======================================================== to this list, link to page "A Tour of the Haskell Prelude" can also be added -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:bulatz@HotPOP.com
