That's a big question. For a general intro, I've heard good things about
Learn You a Haskell [1], and of course Real World Haskell [2] was
co-written by one of the creators of xmonad. Myself, I just learned through
my usual combination of trial-and-error and perusing blogs, mailing lists,
random bits of code, and the spec.

As for what your head needs wrapping around, I would need more information,
but for many people the first barrier is the syntax, so... Lesson #1:
function calls look like `f 1 2` instead of `f(1, 2)`. There is actually a
good reason for this. Exercise: Find out what that reason is. Class
dismissed.
