Scheme in Haskell: write a parser, learn two fascinating languages (amherst.edu)

This is a good tutorial. It's the first I found that showed how to do some basic but useful stuff, such as compile, include external files, and have code write to STDOUT. The other Haskell articles I'd seen jumped right into type theory and such; I prefer hands-on.

With Scheme in 48 Hours you get running code you can hack around with to see what does what.


I'm going through this over the weekend. The really trippy part, to me, is where he switches from using haskell to define the scheme parser, to using scheme to define the standard library (of course, run through the parser that was just written)
