Hi,<br>
<br>
Real World Haskell is more about applying Haskell to real problems.
If you are more interested in training your functional way of
thinking I would recommend the book<a title="Go to
"Introduction to Functional Programming using Haskell (2nd
Edition)" page"> "Introduction to Functional Programming
using Haskell" by Richard Bird. It's not an easy read but the time
working through it is well worth spending. <br>

It's a good book - the only reservation I would have in
recommending<br>
it is that it is a "work through" book, you have to work
through the<br>
book in order to get its benefit. With say "Real World
Haskell" you<br>
can skip and skim chapters if you don't find them so
interesting.<br>
<br>
Also, you might want to check that you can find and run the
SOE<br>
"School of Expression" graphics software, it might not be
compatible<br>
with current GUI toolkits.<br>
