I'd recommend Yorgey's cis194 course to start learning: http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/spring13/lectures.html http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/spring13/lectures.html
Each `lecture` is comprised of recommended reading material (sourced from LYAH, RWH, Typeclassopedia, and others) and some reasonably difficult homework problems that build on the learned concepts.
- murphm8 11y agoDo you recommend Spring 2013 for a reason? The Spring 2015[1] has a similar but different set of lectures/assignments. Do you think that is better/worse? [1] http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/ http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis194/
- SirensOfTitan 11y agoThey're likely both good starting points. From a cursory glance of Spring 2015, here's why I like 2013 more: 2013 starts with Functor and builds into Applicative then Monad. I like this a lot, as each builds on each other: fmap has a tight relationship with <$>, and Monad is pretty much Applicative with bind (>>=). Applicative is a Functor and Monad is an Applicative (as of 7.10 I think). I'm by no means super experienced here, but the 2013 course was the first learning text that really got me into Haskell.
- ac 11y ago> fmap has a tight relationship with <$> Yup, it's really tight: <$> is fmap
