Unforunately, the "Gentle Introduction To Haskell" that haskell.org links to is not a very useful introduction.
John and I should probably rename this document, since it really isn't a very gentle intro at all. We should probably also downplay it's prominance on the haskell website. It was written rather quickly many years ago, at a time when there was not a single textbook on Haskell. So it's probably outlived it's purpose, although I do believe that some people still find it useful.
I learned Haskell from it. Later, people corrected my style and I learned some more. Of course, I did not do any serious Haskell programming yet, except for my infamous primes finding algorithms. Regards, Shlomi Fish
