/prog/ - Haskell for complete newbies

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-21 15:40 ID:f+/COkCw

Are there any Haskell tutorials for people who are completely new to programming?

I have a few friends who are interested in learning programming, and they're asking me what language they should start with. Now, I believe that if taught correctly, a functional language is the best way to start learning, but it seems that all Haskell tutorials are targeted towards people who already have experience in procedural programming. Am I wrong? If so, what would you recommend?

tselect :: [(TChan a, t)] -> STM (a, t) 

tselect = foldl orElse retry 

    . map (\(ch, ty) -> (flip (,) ty) `fmap` readTChan ch)

Summary: there are no Haskell books because Haskell is write-only.

The cover of that book is excessively gay, by the way. Actually it makes it kind of awesome.

Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell
By R. Bird

Highly recommended. It's well set out and easy to follow. At the University of Oxford, functional programming is taught before procedural using this book and the core text.

Except he has this penchant for using weird typographical conventions in example code. So you can't just type the examples in and hope them to work, since there's no key for the mathspeakically correct inequality operator on most keyboards... or for the arrow that points to the left ("<-") symbol.

Good shit, otherwise. Explains strictness and the difference between foldr and foldl pretty well. I wish he'd used seq rather than rolling his own "strict" function, but that's rather minor in the real world.

At least it's not APL.

I wish I had learnt Haskell first. Time to write a Haskell version of why_’s Ruby book, methinks.

why is a crybaby emo faggot who should just kill himself already instead of writing an emo rant every week saying he would.

also, haskell books are no good. The wikibook is cool though (since I wrote some of it :)

*#($A(#@@>$5%

This is a valid APL program that functions as web server and does mpeg compression when it is not serving files

It is also a valid Perl program.

Is this available in PDF form anywhere?

One word, have them read SICP, thread over.

I love Haskell, but I believe it's too syntaxful to be a good teaching language. Scheme is more suitable.

Couldn't find one anywhere. Have you tried your local library?

Please give link to scip someone.
I remember seeing scip on wikipedia, but there's no article now, and i want to read the book.

You must be trolling, but anyway, it's SICP.

no its not 'SICP', this is clearly just your way of saying "I've read SICP".

They have no books on Haskell at all.
