it's kind of inspired by Why's ruby guide, because that's also a sort of funny-ish programming book with pictures, but i think our style is different enough.

- Stormbringer 15y agoI'm probably thinking of some other python inspired book then. Well done for making a contribution to the advancement of knowledge etc.
- frio 15y agoYou might be thinking of Zed Shaw's "Learn Python the Hard Way", which started a spat between him and Mark Pilgrim over the best way to teach Python. It was also ripped off to make a Ruby version later, which Zed got pretty annoyed at (FWIW, the Ruby version basically replaced the Python examples with Ruby, while not changing the explanations - which were very much tied to Python). However, none of that has anything to do with Learn You a Haskell, which looks excellent and will probably mean I don't make my savings goal next week :<.
- krainboltgreene 15y agoZed Shaw wrote "Learn Python The Hard Way", and then E. Martin started to write "Learn Ruby The Hard Way", without asking permission to copy the text. There's a second book, started before LPTHW and LRTHW, called Learn You The Ruby, by me. But I haven't finished it :(
