Programming in Haskell, 2ed by Graham Hutton [0] is the best resource, in my opinion. It also has two comprehensive YouTube playlists that are accessible, rigorous, and fun to watch [1].

Those who learn well from a text resource, Haskell MOOC from mooc.fi [2] is pretty good.

What does that mean?

"Mostly adequate guide to FP (in javascript)". [Don't laugh].

That course takes you into coding from scratch "bind" and "return" for several use-cases, and do a bit of currying. Very interesting small exercises.

The advanced lectures were the ones that finally clicked monads to me.

Hi I am seeing a lot of good resources in this thread already but I might have something to add. I am also learning Haskell at the moment, and the thing that really helped me push through it was this MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) by the university of Helsinki which is completely free and online available.

https://haskell.mooc.fi/

It's a structured, has a lot of excercises and so far (I am on Lecture 5 at the moment) very clear. It wont make you an expert, but will get you writing code quickly.
