Haskell Tutorial for C Programmers
By Eric Etheridge. Spotted by Mark Evans at Lambda the Ultimate.
Many people are accustomed to imperative languagues, which include C, C++, Java, Python, and Pascal. For computer science students, Haskell is weird and obtuse. This tutorial assumes that the reader is familiar with C/C++, Python, Java, or Pascal. I am writing for you because it seems that no other tutorial was written to help students overcome the difficulty of moving from C/C++, Java, and the like to Haskell.
I write this assuming that you have checked out the Gentle Introduction to Haskell, but still don't understand what's going on.
Haskell is not 'a little different,' and will not 'take a little time.' It is very different and you cannot simply pick it up, although I hope that this tutorial will help.
