Maybe I missed it, but what's the best way to learn basic Haskell? I was expecting a tutorial. Or link to one.

I really like the concise, well explained university course Brent Yorgey put together several years ago [1]. It also works well as a book club at work.

For me, Get Programming with Haskell by Will Kurt was much better than the 1300 page Haskell book. I loved it.

NO. Not that one. It explains the easy parts at (boring, pseudo-funny) length and expects you to understand the hard parts after a few sentences.

It's good at explaining those easy parts, though. It also encourages experimentation in the REPL. For a more complete understanding, I agree that it must be accompanied by some more reference-style material.

Followup on this; Is there an interactive online tutorial like codeacademy for Haskell?
