[Haskell-beginners] What to do next?

[Tony Morris]

I teach FP for a living for an organisation called NICTA. This is the
material I use primarily https://github.com/NICTA/course

If you can do the easy stuff, fine. For example,
https://github.com/NICTA/course/blob/master/src/Course/List.hs
https://github.com/NICTA/course/blob/master/src/Course/ListZipper.hs
https://github.com/NICTA/course/blob/master/src/Course/StateT.hs

If you want it a bit harder:
https://github.com/NICTA/course/blob/master/src/Course/Parser.hs
https://github.com/NICTA/course/blob/master/src/Course/JsonParser.hs
https://github.com/NICTA/course/blob/master/src/Course/Cheque.hs

But if you can do any of these, then I would say you are not a beginner
anymore:
https://github.com/NICTA/course/blob/master/projects/TicTacToe/TicTacToe.markdown
https://github.com/NICTA/course/blob/master/projects/NetworkServer/NetworkServer.markdown
