This is a multi-week study plan for going from web developer (self-taught, no experience with functional programming) to a software developer that is proficient in haskell.
- What is it?
- Why use it?
- How to use it
- Don't feel you aren't smart enough
- Before you Get Started
- What you Won't See Covered
- Prerequisite Knowledge
- The Daily Plan
"list=refl functor=lift a function into a context, eg list applicative=same but the function can have any number of args monad=functor but you're allowed to squish it when nested. Use it to chain exprs with functor results comonad=you don't need it traversable=the FP cheat code"
How to use it
Everything below is an outline, and you should tackle the items in order from top to bottom.
I'm using Github's special markdown flavor, including tasks lists to check progress.
Create a new branch so you can check items like this, just put an x in the brackets: [x]
Fork a branch and follow the commands below
git checkout -b progress
git remote add jwasham https://github.com/haskellguide/haskell-study-guide
git fetch --all
Mark all boxes with X after you completed your changes
git add .
git commit -m "Marked x"
git rebase jwasham/master
git push --force
- Successful software engineers are smart, but many have an insecurity that they aren't smart enough.
- The myth of the Genius Programmer
- It's Dangerous to Go Alone: Battling the Invisible Monsters in Tech
- Believe you can change
These are prevalent technologies but not part of this study plan:
- SQL
- Javascript
- HTML, CSS, and other front-end technologies
Some subjects take one day, and some will take multiple days. Some are just learning with nothing to implement.
Prerequisite Knowledge
- Learn C
- C is everywhere. You'll see examples in books, lectures, videos, everywhere while you're studying.
- C Programming Language, Vol 2
- This is a short book, but it will give you a great handle on the C language and if you practice it a little you'll quickly get proficient. Understanding C helps you understand how programs and memory work.
