Back in university I know the exercises were where my real learning took place, not in reading the textbook or listening to the lectures. And it's the same with Haskell.<div><br></div><div>Good luck,</div><div><br></div><div> - alexander</div><div><br></div><div><div>On 2013-01-10, at 6:44 PM, Philip Cote <<a href="mailto:cotejrp@gmail.com">cotejrp@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">
