That's true. Being a self-learner I forgot that your books are used as a textbooks. > I have many of the solutions to SOE problems, and could post them, but > am wondering if it would be better to make them available only to > instructors, or to those who might convince me that they are not > reading the book for credit. Or is that being too draconian? How to discern self-study from the university sudent? And this is maybe specific to Haskell-like community, i.e. for other programming languages there are so many books/materials/mailinglists/... so it is prety hard to give some specific homework expecting one cannot find an answer. At the same time, those who take adavantage of solutions (both students & self-study guys) won't benefit much from it - they have to pass the exam at the end or write some real code in a language :-) So, imho, solutions can be helpful for those who can take advantage of them. Let's hear what Simon Thompson thinks in regard.
