Haskell Resources

Basic references

• A description of most of the functions in the Standard Prelude.
  [Warning: I have recently noticed that there are some errors in this document. For example, several functions such as isAlpha are in the Data.Char library, not in the Prelude. Use the link below to check.]
• The complete Standard Prelude and its index.
• All the code from the textbook: Haskell: The Craft of Programming by Simon Thompson.
• An overview of the syntax of Haskell.

ANUPlot Graphics Library

• Haddock-generated documentation of the graphics library.
  You will probably only be interested in these modules: Picture, Colors, Primitive and (some of) Display.
• Download the library, documentation, and some example programs.

More advanced references

• Haskell Hierarchical Libraries
• The GHC user guide
• The Haskell 98 Report

GHC on your own computer

To save bandwidth (and your download quota), we have made a few packages available here. Burn them to CD and take it away.

• MacOS X package
• MS Windows installer

• Red Hat rpm
• Generic Linux binary bundle. (Appears to not include the OpenGL binding we will be using later in the course.)
• GHC source. You need a version of GHC (6.2 or later) already installed to build from source. For thrill-seekers.
• Get others from haskell.org

Editors, etc.

• The Haskell mode for emacs: syntax highlighting, type hints, and more.

• For MS Windows users, the Crimson Editor is free and has nice syntax highlighting for lots of languages including Haskell. Say goodbye to notepad! It's only 1.25Mb, but for the frugal, you can get the installation executable here.
