I found Real World Haskell very helpful. After that I could actually program shell scripts in haskell. Then I did Write yourself a Scheme in 48 hours. I could make simple parsers. It is just one step of the stair. <div><br>
</div><div>But what really helped to move up, was reading research articles in which haskell is featured. The articles are of good quality and very interesting to read. </div><div><br></div><div>I think that is missing in the tutorials, that there are a lot of good articles about haskell. </div>

On the other hand, 'Real World Haskell' doesn't involve all that much math, either. Nor did what I got through of 'Write yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours' (I switched to RWH because you can find solutions to the exercises in the reader comments). Or did you consider those "ridiculous" tutorials as well?<br>

I hated Real World Haskell. IIRC, didn't get into any of the theory, and the "real world" examples didn't seem very real world, either.<br>
<br>
I should probably clarify... I don't think it is a bad think that Haskell is all about higher math. I just hated the tutorials and books that pretended like this wasn't the case and try to teach you Haskell like you are learning PHP. Personally I find lambda calculus and type theory to be quite interesting and, I suspect, the salvation of the modern programming mess. Unfortunately though they depend on a lot of material I didn't learn in college because the lame C++ OOP courses I was taking gave me the impression that there was zero connection between mathematics and real life programming.<div class="im">
