Use Stack instead of installing Haskell platform, your distro's Haskell package: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack After installing stack and putting ~/.local/bin on your path here is how I start a project: cabal init < answer questions > stack init The above will be replaced by `stack new` in the future I think, but `stack new` doesn't work for what I'm doing atm. Learning: https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell http://haskellbook.com/ http://haskellbook.com/ After those, just start writing crappy Haskell code to solve real tasks you need/want solved. The most important thing is to focus on creating working software with the language, since that's the fastest way to learn. After you've done this a couple times start reading source code of libraries which solve the same problems you've implemented and see how they are different. This may include lots of learning before you understand the libraries. Once you understand this library, start going down the most popular libraries and understanding how they work (You might want to skip lens though! I hear it's very difficult to understand the source code and sheer generality): http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/top http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/top Some papers I feel I'd do a disservice of not mentioning: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/marktoberdorf/baastad.pdf http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/wadler/papers/marktoberdorf/ba... http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~wh5a/personal/Transformers.pdf http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~wh5a/personal/Transformers.pdf Also, I use these as references while writing crappy (and sometimes not as I get more experienced) Haskell code: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/ http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/ http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/ http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/ http://adit.io/posts/2013-04-17-functors,_applicatives,_and_monads_in_pictures.html http://adit.io/posts/2013-04-17-functors,_applicatives,_and_... https://www.fpcomplete.com/school https://www.fpcomplete.com/school https://www.fpcomplete.com/recent-content https://www.fpcomplete.com/recent-content
