This is a recommended path for learning Haskell based on experience helping others. A list of recommendations from one of the authors of theHaskell Book.
Our IRC channel is#haskell-beginners onLibera Chat.
IRC web clienthere.
The haskellmailing lists.
Seethe community guidelines to understand the conduct that is expected in the IRC channel. You'll get a warning if you're not obviously trolling, but be aware the channel is exclusively for those learning or teaching Haskell.
GetStack to get GHC installed and to build your projects.
If you don't know anything about Stack and would like an overview, check out thiscomprehensive Stack video tutorial.
Instead of following the instructions on Haskell.org, get Stack.

The core recommendation is to read the lectures and complete all exercises/homework for the Spring 13 version of cis1940 followed by the FP course. Both are linked below. Everything else can be considered optional and is mentioned so you know where to look.
@dmvianna wanted me to let you know that the below are just thefree recommended resources. If you're willing to check out a book, we heartily recommend our ownHaskell Book! If you can't afford the book for any reasons, please email us using the contact information atour support page.
Do this first if aren't getting the Haskell Book, this is the bestfree introduction to Haskell.
Availableonline.
Brent Yorgey's course is the best I've found sofar. This course is valuable as it will not only equip you to write basicHaskell but also help you to understand parser combinators.
The only reason you shouldn't start with cis1940 is if you are not a programmeror are an inexperienced one. If that's the case, start withThompson's book and transitionto cis1940.
This is the course we recommend doing after Yorgey's cis1940 course
Available on githubhere.
This will reinforce and give you experience directly implementing theabstractions introduced in cis1940, this is practice which iscritical tobecoming comfortable with everyday uses of Functor/Applicative/Monad/etc. inHaskell. Doing cis1940 and then the FP course represents the corerecommendation of my guide and is how we teach everyone Haskell.
Provides more material on intermediate topics
cs240h is available online:
This isBryan O'Sullivan's online course from theclass he teaches at Stanford. If you don't know who he is, take a gander at halfthe libraries any Haskell application ends up needing and his name is on it. Ofparticular note if you've already done the Yorgey course are the modules onphantom types, information flow control, language extensions, concurrency,pipes, and lenses.
These resources are not vetted or tested with learners as cis1940 and FP course have been, but they're linked inthe topic listing so you have ideas on where to begin. This includes things like intermediate/advanced concepts and subjects like tooling and text editors.

These are actually pretty important and helpful. Look here for deep dives on avariety of topics.
