Dear anyone,I wish to learn HASKELL. However my institution does not teach it so plus I don't have a clue how to get around with it. Everything seems so unconventional and out of place Can you help me out in getting good tutorials that will help me to learn HASKELL by myself so that I can pursue it as a serious programming languages Till now I have referred Haskell wiki and have tried everywhere but does not seem to learn it PLZ, PLZ HELP ME OUT -- Regards MANU

You're lucky since "Real World Haskell" is out today. Go get your printed copy, it's well worth to have it under your pillow. If you want, you can even read it online (google) but I advise to buy it anyhow. Cristiano

Hi Manu Depending on your style, you might prefer Real World Haskell (available online or in print) or Learn You A Haskell (http://learnyouahaskell.com/). Of course, there are others, but my personal preference is for LYAH. --Max On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 7:14 PM, Manu Gupta wrote:

Manu, Did you skip over the dozens of links at haskell.org answering exactly these questions? There are links to some great tutorials [1] and IRC information where you can get real-time help [2]. Also there are some good books [3]. I think most "recent" learners learned from YAHT [4], Gentle Introduction [5], and LYAH [6]. I personall read [3] & [4] and eventually discovered [7], which is well written but last I checked isn't nearly a complete tutorial. Thomas On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 10:35 AM, Max Rabkin wrote:

Arrghhh, Indeed - that's what I get for copy/pasting between boxes.

Another book that I would recommend is the following: Programming in Haskell by Graham Hutton http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/book.html Duncan Coutts has written a book review on this title, in which he highly recommends the book, at the following site: Book Review: “Programming in Haskell” by Graham Hutton by Duncan Coutts http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/book-review.pdf There is also an eBook version of the above-mentioned title available at the following site: eBooks.com - Programming in Haskell eBook http://www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=307017 Please keep in mind that, unlike most other books and tutorials on Haskell, neither _Real World Haskell_ nor _Programming in Haskell_ assumes that the reader is highly mathematically-inclined. -- Benjamin L.

For self-study, I would recommend having at least one textbook available, you can find a list at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Books I found Simon Thompson's Craft of Functional Programming an excellent guide into the language when I first met Haskell, I'm sure other books will be too. Apart from a real paper book, I can recommend reading the wikibook at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell it's continually work in progress, so much of it is not yet polished, but it contains a huge amount of cool and useful information. More tutorials (of different quality) can be found at http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Tutorials , look at some and read those which give the best impression. And for the questions you will certainly have at some time, there are almost always a lot of friendly and helpful people on the haskell irc-channel, reading the beginners@haskell.org mailing list (lower traffic than haskell-cafe, so your questions will be in less danger of being inundated by other messages) and haskell-cafe.

Till now I have referred Haskell wiki and have tried everywhere but does not seem to learn it

PLZ, PLZ HELP ME OUT
