I love Haskell Programming from First Principles. It has details for everything. It has plenty of exercises you help you make friends with all of the "esoterica". Once I worked with the rules (e.g. how to make an instance of Applicative), they were a lot more concrete for me. In Haskell, when you don't understand some detail it really comes back to get you. I read LYaH and I felt like I understood the big picture, but I didn't understand that it was critical to understand the types of _everything_ in an expression that I wrote. (My own failing.) In summary: I highly recommend. https://HaskellBook.com My background when I read it: 10+ years programming, 5+ years functional programming, 2 attempts reading LYaH (1 successfully). I still loved it. It would have saved me a lot of grief to start with the HB instead of LYaH. |
