Learn You a Haskell

The LYAH is by far my favorite book for beginners, however, it lacks exercises for you to practice, but you can still move along typing and playing with the examples shown, and it’s free to read online. It’s outdated but most of the code may still be valid with little to no changes.

Learn You a Haskell For Great Good! is also a really good resource:

If you've never done functional, Learn You Some Erlang For Great Good was a very fun read, and I'll always love Learn You a Haskell for Great Good for showing me everything imperative languages kinda gloss over magically, as well as why I should never take a job working in Haskell!

you start that way, but don't do http://learnyouahaskell.com really?

Learn You a Haskell for Great Good!

There are a lot of really good "learn by doing" initiatives out there which are also theory heavy, even in the hardest languages (like this kind of thing for Haskell). Learning by immersion is the way they teach language in a hurry, and to learn a programming language in a hurry immersion is still the best teacher (in the form of a lot of hands-on projects that force you to handle theoretical concepts to complete them). It's not just the fun of making things and problem solving, but also of putting the big picture together and increasing what you can do. I bet you can find immersion projects like that on GitHub (or the internet in general) for almost any language or framework (and good textbooks are similar).

If you’d like to have the team look at free learning material to gage team wide adoption, I created a video series that used this really nice repo https://github.com/kowainik/learn4haskell

If reading books isn’t exactly your thing, here are some Haskell courses that should get you writing Haskell as fast as possible. There are two options to choose from here: something like Type Classes or learn4haskell can be very useful for getting started with the Haskell syntax and basic language constructs, while the more university-focused courses from Erik Meijer or Graham Hutton will help you start thinking like a functional programmer.

I think you might benefit a lot from going through short materials like Learn4Haskell. Your questions are all answerable there.

If you are already advanced in other programming languages, this course will get your feet wet: https://github.com/kowainik/learn4haskell

I am doing this course https://github.com/kowainik/learn4haskell is from a past event, but in my opinion, the content is excellent and I am loving it so far, also the repo owners still check and give feedback which I think is amazing

For Haskell most people read a book, http://learnyouahaskell.com/ or few other ones, I went through a bit but I started loosing focus just reading. This https://github.com/kowainik/learn4haskell helped me to get through that, really nice gamified learning path.

Learn4Haskell - Great for getting your feet wet with Haskell's syntax, and the fundamental typeclasses. They teach the concepts, and give you exercises on Haskell files which I find really neat. Akin to vim tutor. You can also run test cases which I found helpful.
