[hakyll] Getting started as user and "developer"

[Achim Domma]

Hi,

I have very very limited basic Haskell knowledge, partially due to the fact
that I read a lot of stuff about Haskell, but never had a useful toy
project to get started. Hakyll seems to be a good tool for a private page I
have in mind, so thought I should try to build my page using Hakyll and
learn some Haskell at the same time. So I do not yet have a particular
problem to solve, but would rather get a feeling for how the internals
work, what is possible, how much Haskell I need to know.

I know this is a very vague questions, but can somebody recommend some
starting point? Like a document about the high level architecture? The one
and only module which glues everything together? Or some small extension
module which is a good starting example?

kind regards,
Achim

Hi, Achim.

Hakyll not the best tool for learning, since it has the goal of generating
static web sites with it's own set of ideas within applied area. On the
other hand, you can get the feeling of Haskell library and how easy you can
use it and apply to your problem. There are many examples
https://jaspervdj.be/hakyll/examples.html with source codes. You can choose
any site you liked and try to understand how code works. Also, try to make
your own small static site and have fun.
