[Haskell-cafe] Self Study with SOE

[Paul Hudak]

Hi Deech.  I'm afraid that there is no solutions manual for SOE.  I have 
many of the solutions scattered about in various places, and have been 
meaning to cull them together, but haven't had the time.  However, the 
following website should be helpful to you:

    http://plucky.cs.yale.edu/CS429F04

This is from a course I taught two years ago, and it contains a number 
of solutions to SOE problems, as well as powerpoint slides for most of 
the chapters, and information on more advanced topics such as Yampa.

I hope this helps,

    -Paul
