Haskell

Web references (other than online books) :

• Hoogλe is an essential tool for exploring the standard Haskell libraries.
• haskell.org has download options, an online code execution facility.
• The Haskell wiki has many useful links.

Online books:

• Miran Lipovača, Learn You a Haskell for Great Good: A Beginner's Guide,
  This book is available online Try here; or order it from No Starch Press.
  This book is slightly out-of-date with respect to recent changes to the Haskell language: for instance, Monoid is stand-alone rather than a subclass of Semigroup; ditto for Monad and Applicative. Nonetheless, it is a brilliant book.
• Bryan O'Sullivan, Don Stewart, and John Goerzen, Real World Haskell, O'Reilly, 2008, online here.
  This book is book is much bigger and more detailed than Learn You a Haskell for Great Good. It has lots of examples of using ghci.

Paper books loosely related to Haskell: I have copies of

• Implementing Functional Languages by Simon Peyton Jones and David Lester. out of print, but available online here.
• Purely Functional Data Structures by Chris Okasaki.
