I will quote (what i think is) an important part of the learning process: "Much of the difficulty in learning a new language is simply setting up the environment and getting comfortable with the tools to start programming." Having a kind of IDE to play around was immenselly useful in my case. I then could try to solve small problem i invented. And used the various Haskell resources in a non-linear way (how to do this? Cf SO, books, articles, etc. And then some theory articles to tell you why it is done this way. And that again for another topic required to solve my problem, and again, and again). Problem solving was my way to go to discover the Haskell way. Not just reading a book linearly.
