With the relase of Joy of Haskell, I consider this resource no longer necessary. I created it because I felt there were few good beginner Haskell tutorials (I'm not very fond of Learn You a Haskell and I wanted something with exercises). For that reason, I've decided to stop maintaining it and took down its website. Thank you everyone! It was a fun ride.

For posterity

This is a beginner's Haskell guide by me, Andre Popovitch! My goal is for this to be a useful resource to give a Haskell newcomer. I welcome any typo fixes, wording changes, etc. so if you have any of these to contribute, please leave an issue/pull request. You can also find me on the Functional Programming Discord under the name @likliklik, or at my email (andre@popovit.ch). I'm always happy to help answer Haskell questions.

While this is a beginner's guide, I want to cover advanced and useful topics! Here are the topics that are currently on the agenda:

1) A chapter on the Pipes library

2) A chapter on concurrency and parallelism

3) A chapter on writing optimized Haskell

4) A chapter on Template Haskell

If you're knowledgable in any of these topics and are willing to answer a few questions, please shoot me an email. Any other ideas are welcome!

The styling is in traditional Markdown, but for our custom typesetting we have access to the following additions!

!newthought(Makes text small caps - I may decide to remove this entirely)

!sidenote(This is a sidenote - it has a number)

!marginnote(This is a margin note - like a sidenote, but without a number)

!figure(This is the caption for a figure - the link to the figure goes next. The figure will be the width of the text, without the margin)(./image/path/image.jpg)

!marginfigure(This is a margin figure caption. The figure goes in the margin with the margin notes.)(./image/path/image.jpg)

!fullwidthfigure(This is a full-width figure caption. The figure can be the full width of the text + margin)(./image/path/image.jpg)
