Hi, My name is Andy Schmidt and I am new to Haskell. My prof just introduced me to it yesterday actually. I want to learn more. It sounds like a really interesting thing. So let me know what I need to do in order to get started. Thanks Andy
Go to http://haskell.org Hunt there for compilers (Hugs is a good start and very portable). Hunt there for books (anything listed there that is also in your university library is a good start). Also read the things about what Haskell is especially good for. Be aware that many mailing lists and research papers deal with awkward corner cases that you won't hit for a while. You don't need to know about multi-parameter type classes, existential types, non-deterministic exceptions, implicit parameters and monads for a while.
