So, I requested my institute to buy Dr. Graham Hutton's book. I would
be getting hold of that quite soon, and am willing to start from the
beginning.
IMHO, the best way to learn Haskell is to learn it from a textbook.
That's basically all there is to it :)
I mean, the same goes for Theoretical Computer Science, Mathematics,
Physics etc. I think that the key properties of a textbook are
1) printed on paper
2) well-written
Of course, if a book doesn't have property 2), use another one. An
online book satisfying 2) can be made satisfy 1) by printing it out. In
other words, anything goes that fulfills 1) and 2).
And since reading two textbooks (in parallel) is even better than
reading only one, I'd additionally recommend Bird's "Introduction to
Functional Programming using Haskell". For other books, see also
