[Haskell-cafe] Draft chapters of "Real World Haskell" now publicly available

[Dan Weston]

I think this points out the benefit (or even the need), given the 
fast-paced evolution of Haskell and its libraries as a whole, of an 
evolving online supplement to your book, minimally with errata and code, 
but also (as publisher resources permit) with intermittently updated 
appendices on still-evolving technologies and (most risky of all), 
advice on the best tool or library of various tasks (e.g. UI) as a 
function of risk and programmer experience.

I think this approach is the surest defense against shelf-rot.
