Hi, I have 3 Haskell books, The Craft of Functional Programming (Thompson), Introduction to Functional Programming Using Haskell (Bird) and The Haskell School of Expression (Hudak). I recommend Thompson's book because it contains good explanations and lots of exercises, although the book is quite big and takes some time to work through. Bird's book is a bit shorter and is good for explanations too but it isn't quite so hands on as it contains fewer exercises. Hudak's I feel is a bit too advanced for a first read, it focusses on using the Hugs graphics library and I think that the graphics examples can sometimes cloud the simple ideas that are trying to be explained. I'll probably try reading it again in the future. All the best Dave O

Do you know if there are solutions to exersises avaialable somewhere? Have you gone through the whole book, i.e. all the exercises? Sincerely, Gour -- Registered Linux User | #278493 GPG Public Key | 8C44EDCD
Haskell wiki pages for this stuff? I presume you would need the authors/publishers permission. I am 62 pages into "Implementing Functional Languages: a tutorial" and would be happy to put up the solutions I have so far (with appropriate permission of course). The advantage of the wiki is that you can present different solutions (contributed by different people) that correspond to different programming styles. Matt On 18/01/2005, at 6:39 AM, Gour wrote:
