This is already on haskell.org and I know it was posted here in the early stages, but maybe a few maybe-interested-in-trying-Haskell-ers haven't heard of it and would like to try Haskell. As of this week there are 30 tutorial steps / 7 lessons, finishing at the type system (so far). There's a lot more potential for this project (adding a CodeMirror editor with "loadable" code, allowing uploading of tutorials like a pastebin... but a tutorialbin, asking exercise questions which are then quickcheck'd, etc.), but I like to incrementally add and then get feedback. For newbies to Haskell I would like your feedback/comments, if you have any. I'm hoping to reach fresh Haskell newbies here on Hacker News for an unbiased experience. I asked a non-programmer friend to try it out a while ago and got some invaluable feedback. Send it to your friends,
Read the rest
just to see how far they get! Post what they say! Anyone who's read something like Rocket Surgery Made Easy will be familiar with how invaluable feedback is. I am also interested in hearing about general ideas on what you think would just be cool to see. If you want to let me know about bugs please post them here: http://github.com/chrisdone/tryhaskell/issues Granted there are some browser/OS oddities but I can only test on so many! Bugfixes welcome! PM me on github. Cheers!
