| excellent article, thanks. it's comforting -for me- to see that almost everybody is going through the same phases while learning haskell. i believe that should say something to haskell community. i've recently started learning haskell. it's been 25 days. (so says cabal) i was reading a book and struggling to build a web app. (why web app?) i was so close to quitting. later i decided this is not the way to learn haskell. one simply does not read the book and try stuff. that was not enough. at least for me. so i changed my method. my new method of learning haskell is: - read the book. - find one or more mentors (i have two) that are really good at haskell and can answer all kinds of impatient questions you have. - watch people doing and explaining haskell stuff. - join #haskell-beginners on freenode and ask your questions. - create something small first that you can turn into something big later. online haskell resources are surprisingly deficient however #haskell-beginners community is awesome when it comes to helping n00bs like me and "learn you a haskell" book is an excellent book. one more resource that i use as reference material is the "haskell from scratch" [0] screencast series by chris forno (@jekor). before you begin, make sure you checkout chris allen's (@bitemyapp) "learn haskell" [1] guide. we'll get there people, we'll get there. :) [0] https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxj9UAX4Em-Ij4TKwKvo-...
