Re: Learning Haskell and FP

Is there a good textbook on Functional Programming which starts from a base point similar to "The craft of Functional Programming" but more advanced in terms of introducing necessary topics like Category theory, catamorphisms, monads, etc? I would find such a book very useful, especially if it concentrated on lazy functional programming.

You might want to have a look at the series of three books on Advanced Functional Programming, published in LNCS, as LNCS 925, 1129, and 1608. I would probably start with 925, which introduces monads, parser & pretty-printing combinators, monadic catamorphisms, constructor classes, etc. -- Johan Jeuring
