All good things are findable from http://haskell.org :) We've been working recently on a comparative OCaml/Haskell introductory text, which might be helpful for some beginner issues, syntax, and a few intermediate things like typeclasses: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/A_brief_introduction_to_Haskell it can be read side-by-side with the Introduction to OCaml, linked on the same page. Otherwise, YAHT is a good start: http://darcs.haskell.org/yaht/yaht.pdf and there's some other good things on: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Books_and_tutorials Feel free to drop by #haskell, we've quite a few OCaml refugees there :) -- Don _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
