This was the first tutorial that I used to learn Haskell way back when. If you liked Why's Ruby tutorial then this might be good for you.
What I liked:
1) The Modules and Typeclasses sections
2) The operator tutorials, there are sections where they introduce all related operators, I like this method of introducing operators.
I did have 2 complaints with it.
1) Thought it's somewhat incomplete, missing the monad tutorial and
2) It's more of a small snippets on how to use the syntax, it doesn't teach by building programs that can solve real world problems. This may not be much of a problem depending on how you learn.
Though back when I read it RWH wasn't out yet so your choices were more limited back then.
- smanek 18y agoI'm enjoying RWH (available freely at http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/ http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/). I'm only about a third of the way through it, but every few chapters the author ostensibly takes a break from the pedagogy to show us how to build a real program (in reality, there is a lot of teaching in those chapters, so don't skip them).
