Well, I am definitely a beginner and am prepared to take this on
I have had some exposure to Ada, C , C++, Prolog etc but definitely no previous FP
experience before.
For some time now, I had been planning to write an introduction to Haskell for my son
He is a bright 14 year old who is familiar with Delphi and VB but has like me
has not done any functional programming before . If it is simple enough
for him, it should work as a true "Beginners guide to Haskell".
I propose that I write it section by section, and either post to the mailing list for
corrections and feedback.
If there are objections , I will send it to those willing to correct it ( hopefully
these will include Paul Hudak and Simon Peyton Jones ) . If my ability to continue
this falters or if I encounter a section that is too hard for me, ( at the moment,
monads seem a likely candidate ! ) I'll pass the enterprise along to anyone else who
is willing to take it on !
