Hello, What is a good book to learn Haskell with a lot of exercises so I can check if I understand everything right ? Roelof
I'm side-stepping the strict definition of a "book" here, but this:
https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell is the guide I use to teach
Haskell. It's primarily cis194 followed by the NICTA course, augmented by
LYAH and RWH as supplemental references. I'm working on a book as well, but
that's still early and cannot help you yet.
Remember to have fun while learning Haskell. :)

Since we've already pointed out some non-books, I'll point you at:
https://www.fpcomplete.com/school/starting-with-haskell
That includes three intro books: a course textbook from a Yale CS intro to
Haskell, an online book intended for experienced programmers, and a book
written specifically for the School of Haskell. Being on the SoH gives you
two advantages: 1) exercises are presented as active code snippets that you
can edit and run in your browser, which means 2) you don't have to figure
out how to get a Haskell environment set up on your system.
Full disclosure: I've done contract work for FP Complete, including
participation in selecting what material wound up in the "Starting with
Haskell" folder.

I have looked at the course but I cannot figure out which beginners course is the best.
As with any such question, that depends on what you want, what you already know and how you learn. If you're an experienced programmer who wants to write or maintain Haskell code, I'd recommend "Fast and Hard." If you're interested in functional programming and want to use Haskell to learn about it, then try "Introduction to". If you're more curious about Haskell, then try "Basics of".
