AMY: D'oh!  Remember to use the "reply to all" thing. The Haskell Language Report, hereinafter referred to as the "HNR", is an excellent reference material.  Additionally, thoroughly reading the HNR facilitates grokking Haskell.  But the HNR is a bit weird and can be discouraging. Relatively "friendly" reading material includes "Learn You a Haskell for Great Good" and "Real World Haskell", which are available at https://learnyouahaskell.com/ and http://book.realworldhaskell.org, respectively. Just remember that using the HNR _is_ probably the best method of truly grokking Haskell... and that independently learning from the HNR is absolutely possible.  ;^) Good luck, Varik Valefor "Fuch's Warning: If you actually look like your passport photo, you aren't well enough to travel."

I would encourage people to answer each other's questions, but I would answer the more difficult questions.

What book(s) do you think would be best suited for self-study? The participants would all be experienced programmers, but would likely have no knowledge of functional programming?

Hey Amy, For practical programmers, I think the best way to go is, first, "Get programming with Haskell" by Will Kurt, and after that "Haskell in Depth" by Vitaly Bragilevsky. Both of these were written very much with the mentioned audience in mind and try to go via practical examples/projects. -- Best, Artem On Thu, Feb 17, 2022, 3:10 PM Amy de Buitléir wrote:
