[Haskell-beginners] Functional programming principles at higher levels?

[edgar klerks]

I found Real World Haskell very helpful. After that I could actually program
shell scripts in haskell. Then I did Write yourself a Scheme in 48 hours. I
could make simple parsers. It is just one step of the stair.

But what really helped to move up, was reading research articles in which
haskell is featured. The articles are of good quality and very interesting
to read.

I think that is missing in the tutorials, that there are a lot of good
articles about haskell.
