Hi Kris, You have highlighted a very important point by talking about real life projects and the way they differ from core haskell. When I got inspired by Martin Odersky's Coursera Scala course and wished the same for Haskell, I meant the following: 1. Great and in depth set of exercises and

I can see that the required effort would be prohibitive, but after thinking about this some more I do think there are a couple of nice advantages: 1) Quizzes and graded assignments offer some structure to self study, and having some form of feedback/validation when you first get started is

I'm taking it primarily because it is taught by the guy who made the language. I mean how cool is that? He is very smart and certainly blows any other lecturer I've ever had out of the water. If SPJ were doing a haskell course I'd sign up for that too in a heart beat. There's also a slim
