[Haskell-cafe] recommend book for self-study group

[Varik Valefor]

AMY:

D'oh!  Remember to use the "reply to all" thing.

The Haskell Language Report, hereinafter referred to as the "HNR", is an 
excellent reference material.  Additionally, thoroughly reading the HNR 
facilitates grokking Haskell.  But the HNR is a bit weird and can be 
discouraging.

Relatively "friendly" reading material includes "Learn You a Haskell for 
Great Good" and "Real World Haskell", which are available at 
https://learnyouahaskell.com/ and http://book.realworldhaskell.org, 
respectively.

Just remember that using the HNR _is_ probably the best method of truly 
grokking Haskell... and that independently learning from the HNR is 
absolutely possible.  ;^)

Good luck,
Varik Valefor
