If you are new to functional programming, read this

I'm not sure what you mean by your question as it is very general. (If
you are refering to the "methodology" in the FAD paper at
http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/pubs/2001/1152/ , I haven't read it so I
can't help you there.) With Haskell, you can develop pretty much any
kind of software, as any other programming language. See
http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Applications

(If you want to develop a compiler or interpreter, you are in luck as
functional programming languages are very good for developing this
kind of software.)

What kind of software are you intending to develop?

  Jared.
