> Which book or tutorial has the best exercises? Whenever I learn a language
> I like to do tons of exercises, and in fact I keep a list of books with
> great exercises. I currently have Real World Haskell and Programming in
> Haskell (Hutton), but I feel the exercises in these books are lacking.
> Examples of books with great exercises are ANSI Common Lisp (Graham),
> Developing Applications with Ocaml (O'Reilly), The Algorithm Design Manual
> (Skiena), and and Enumerative Combinatorics by Stanley (this book is the
> king of all books when it comes to exercises). They shouldn't be
> impossible, but at the same time exercises like "what are the types of the
> following expressions" are pretty silly. I think a good book should be
> broken into chapters where it takes at least 10 to 20 times as long to
> complete the exercises at the end of each chapter than it did to read the
> chapter and understand the material in it.
