<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I have written a reference manual for the basic Haskell monad functions, "A Tour of the Haskell Monad functions". It contains a lot of examples. You can find it at:<br>
<a href="http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html" target="_blank">http://members.chello.nl/hjgtuyl/tourdemonad.html</a></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Wow! I like these examples. I'm a pragmatist, and although Haskell gave me the most intense joy I ever experienced with programming (and also frustrations ;-), I find it extremely difficult to learn it from research papers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But these small examples are exactly what I need, because my brain will easier recognize a pattern match with the specific examples, than with the abstract explanation (and I was pretty good at abstract algebra, but that's 20 years ago, and I filled these 2 decades with lots and lots of imperative and OO hacking ;-).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I wish every function in every module in the documentation had an "examples" link next to the "source" link, or a link to examples on the wiki or something.</div><div><br></div><div>
I guess the smart computer scientists here will tell me that I need to lift my brain to learn to recognize abstract patterns, but I'm afraid this is not something that is given to all of us, certainly not in the short term. But I still want to enjoy Haskell, so keep the short examples coming :)</div>

As far as I know, there is no reference guide for advanced monads, like the Reader, Writer and State monads.<br>
