Here's a suggestion: would someone like to write such a guide, from the point of view of a beginner, leaving blanks that we can fill in, when you come across a task or issue you don't know the answer to? That is, you provide the skeleton, and we fill in the blanks.
Well, I am definitely a beginner and am prepared to take this on I have had some exposure to Ada, C , C++, Prolog etc but definitely no previous FP experience before. For some time now, I had been planning to write an introduction to Haskell for my son He is a bright 14 year old who is familiar with Delphi and VB but has like me has not done any functional programming before . If it is simple enough for him, it should work as a true "Beginners guide to Haskell". I propose that I write it section by section, and either post to the mailing list for corrections and feedback. If there are objections , I will send it to those willing to correct it ( hopefully these will include Paul Hudak and Simon Peyton Jones ) . If my ability to continue this falters or if I encounter a section that is too hard for me, ( at the moment, monads seem a likely candidate ! ) I'll pass the enterprise along to anyone else who is willing to take it on !
