askell has become infamous because of its emphasis on the monad, a construct from category theory that Haskell's designers saw fit to ordain the gatekeeper of all IO actions. While it is possible to perform IO without a deep understanding of what it means to be a monad, you will be a much improved hacker if you understand the relationships between Haskell's standard typeclasses. This class will start off with a refresher of types and syntax, and then take the journey from functor to pointed to applicative to monad, with short interruptions from other delicious typeclasses.
