10 Pointers to further information
Hugs
The full distribution for Hugs is available on
the World Wide Web from:
http://haskell.org/hugs.
The distribution includes source code, demo programs, library files,
user documentation, and precompiled binaries for common platforms.
There is a mailing list for Hugs users at hugs-users@haskell.org,
and another for bug reports at hugs-bugs@haskell.org.
Admin requests (for example, to subscribe or unsubscribe) should be sent to
majordomo@haskell.org. For more detailed instructions,
just send a message to this address with help in the body.
An overview of nearly all Haskell related resources can be found
at http://haskell.org.
Functional programming
The usenet newsgroup comp.lang.functional provides a forum for general
discussion about functional programming languages. A list of frequently
asked questions (FAQs), and their answers, is available from:
http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/Department/Staff/gmh/faq.html.
The FAQ list contains many pointers to other functional programming
resources around the world.
Further reading
As we said at the very beginning, this manual is not intended as a
tutorial on either functional programming in general, or Haskell in
particular. For these things, our first recommendations would be for
the Introduction to Functional Programming by Bird
and Wadler [BW], and the Gentle Introduction to Haskell by
Hudak, Peterson and Fasel [GentleIntro], respectively. Note,
however, that there are several other good textbooks dealing either
with Haskell or related languages.
For those with an interest in the implementation of Hugs, the
report about the implementation of Gofer [Gofer],
Hugs' predecessor, should be a useful starting point.
