Hi Not looking to get flamed, just offering my opinion. I got the SOE first, and while I like the higher level of it, the way he thinks etc... I found it hard to learn haskell from it. I just recieved "Haskell: The Craft of cuntional Programming" this weekend, and have made huge leaps forward (for me) based on the information within. I would have prefered to start with this book in place of SOE. So my advice is SOE is great but back it up with The craft ..

I strongly recommend "Yet Another Haskell Tutorial by Hal Daume III et
al." in conjuction or prior to CFP book. It's really helped clear
some things ups for me. It seems more pragmatic and less academic
than the other learning haskell resources.

I have to second that... even having previous
experience with other functional languages and some
other books on the subject, "Yet Another Haskell
Tutorial" was a very good read. I am waiting to see
the parts that remain to be finished.
