Hi Is Graham Hutton's book on Haskell Programming a good text for FP beginners? Yes. There is a review in The Monad Reader: http://www.haskell.org/sitewiki/images/0/03/TMR-Issue7.pdf From the abstract: Do we need another introductory Haskell book? Is there anything new to be said or a better approach to take? Graham Hutton thinks there is. I think he is right.

[Haskell-cafe] Books on Haskell
Hello! I've completed reading of Yet another Haskell tutorial and now want to learn Haskell more thoroughly. I'm searching for a book, in which the features of Haskell are explained in the form of examples and exercises (like in the book Clause and Effect on PROLOG). My purpose in exploring Haskell is to determine whether I can program much more productively by using Haskell instead of Java/C#. In order to do that, I have to learn Haskell quite thoroughly. What book can you recommend?

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Books on Haskell
If you really want to find out if Haskell is for you, you need to try and do things you already know how to do in the other languages. For this reason I found that Algorithms: A Functional Programming Approach was great for showing me where Haskell excelled and why it was the language for me. I also have The Haskell School of Expression (the book I first learnt haskell from) and The craft of functional programming. They are both great books. As far as learning about Haskell, I have learnt the most from doing the Implementing a functional language tutorial. However, if you are not interested in compilers, this would not be a good option.

Thanks for your suggestions! As far as learning about Haskell, I have learnt the most from doing the Implementing a functional language tutorial. However, if you are not interested in compilers, this would not be a good option. I am primarily interested in using Haskell for everyday work, which in my case amounts to applications with a) (often) non-trivial algorithmic part and a b) user interface part. I want to use Haskell in order to increase my productivity in both of these parts. Compilers are, at least at the moment, not my topic of interest.
