Most Haskell tutorials on the web seem to take a language-reference-manual approach to teaching.

The "hard stuff" of how to write a functioning, useful program is left to the end, or sometimes omitted entirely.
This tutorial takes a different tack. You'll start off with command-line arguments and parsing, and progress to writing a fully-functional Scheme interpreter that implements a good-sized subset of R5RS Scheme. Along the way,... more
