I am looking for a general Haskell book with syntax reference to
self-teach. I have a computer science background, so technical and
theoretical is fine. Something similar in size and scope as the Camel book
is to perl would be ideal - covering basic language idioms, with a decent
language reference, but by no means exhaustive.
I have looked at Learn You a Haskell and Real World Haskell online, both of
which were accessible but were difficult to follow beyond the basics. I'm
not sure if it's the organization of the material or just the learning
curve, so I'm open to both if these are hands-down the favorites.
Thanks,
-Mike

Gentle Introduction to Haskell worked for me: http://www.haskell.org/tutorial/
It?s outdated in theory (covers Haskell 98) but I would not mind.

I liked those two, and the new Parallel and Concurrent Programming in
Haskell is excellent too. I had a much better understanding of Haskell's
non-strict evaluation after reading it. I'd also recommend checking out
some of the course materials that are available, particularly from
Stanford's CS240h: http://www.scs.stanford.edu/11au-cs240h/
For a more comprehensive list, I collected some of the resources I found
useful when learning Haskell earlier this year:

Hi Micheal,
Probably it's learning curve. I would suggest go with Learn you Haskell and
Real World Haskell. You can also see HSOM[1] and Natural language
processing[2] if want to learn Haskell using some concepts.

Learn You a Haskell is actually my favourite book. The more advanced
topics are hard to follow, but you'll find enough materials on the web.
Additionally I really liked the section about types and their kinds.
I think Real World Haskell is better suited, if you already knew some
Haskell and want to get examples for every day use.

For the Platform, blaze-html would transistively introduce a couple of
other packages, but they all look like stable ones to me - so if the blaze
maintainers suggested inclusion I guess there would be positive support.
Conceivably the blaze maintainers haven't suggested adding it yet.

Anyone used 'Haskell School of Music'?
