A collection of monad tutorials and a few other miscellaneous things.

Here are some links I have been collecting on the topic of monads. I have not read all of them, only have I skim read the first bits. The first article explains some issues people present when they give their perspective on how monads should be best understood.

Abstraction, intuition, and the “monad tutorial fallacy”

Here is jamiely’s haskell-draughts repo. I am working on a checkers game too and was referencing this.

Here is an example of move checking in checkers;

I also need to learn how to parse strings (commands) in Haskell

this looks neat too, a course on Haskell http://shuklan.com/haskell/

I think one of the more on monad links has a link to an appendix of monad tutorials too which could make an alright read. Some of the tutorials I have posted here come from it actually.

It seems like a fair background in mathematics is required to really get much out of monads however.

Greetings.

I have had some thought about starting a blog for some time, and it had seemed like an alright idea to do so this morning. What this blog will discuss? I am not entirely sure yet. I hope to discuss some interesting topics, but I make no promises.
