I spent until 5AM playing vidya games. It took several strong coffees to even begin to interface with life. I will nod solemnly and pretend I grasped what you meant ;) cheers! I feel like putting a project or something together so I need all the help I can get. I'll need something to show when I'm back groveling to uni's this summer. You don't still have those slides do you?<br>

No, it walks you through from first principles.<br>
It isn't however "Haskell for dummies". It isn't patronising and<br>
assumes you are reasonably intelligent, but doesn't assume any<br>
knowledge (there's a world of difference)<br>
