I really enjoyed "All about Monads" by Jeff Newbern http://www.haskell.org/all_about_monads/html/index.html Cheers, Radek. -- Codeside: http://codeside.org/ Przedszkole Miejskie nr 86 w Lodzi: http://www.pm86.pl/

I strongly recommend the original papers by Philip Wadler, especially this one: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/wadler95monads.html IMHO it still beats almost everything that's been written lately, including the wikibook chapter you asked about (which I personally don't like at all). My other standard recommendation is http://sigfpe.blogspot.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monads-and.html but I'd read the above paper first. Cheers Ben
