Ask HN: Your favorite guide/learn-to

3 points by ThinkWriteMute 16y ago ↗ HN

Hey guys, I'm currently writing a guide similar to Learn You An Haskell and Learn You Some Erlang and I've been looking around for great examples beyond that.

So my "question" is: Link to some learning guides for programming languages that you had fun with.

Bonus: If the guide isn't dry/boring!

Maybe A FORTRAN Coloring Book http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~kaufman1/FortranColoringBook/Colori... (I can't be sure since I got my copy long after I'd learned FORTRAN and wasn't using it anymore, but it looked OK or better).
