Getting started with HAppS

+ +

If you use Ruby on Rails, Django, Perl Catalyst, PHP, or some other popular web framework, but +have programmed in haskell and would like to use the world's greatest language for your next web project, +just keep reading. I promise by the time you're done you will give you all the knowledge you need.

+ +

This tutorial is its own demo. Both the job board part, and the text you are reading this moment. +For best results, you should +install and run +it in a local environment where you have control. Then, when you are done +learning, you can use the tutorial code as a starting point for your own +HAppS applications. +

+ +

I'm going to repeat myself now. The best way to learn how to use use HAppS with this tutorial is to install and run it in a +local environment. So if you can, do that first. + +

Getting on with the tutorial proper, our first lesson examines the +main function in a HAppS program. +The second lesson explains how to do basic url handling. +The third lesson covers using templates.

+ +

All the lessons can be seen in the left panel. +Lessons that are planned but haven't been written yet are grayed out. +

  • If you want to create a public web site based on the materials here, I recommend getting either a private server (more expensive) or a virtual private server (less expensive) which gives you admin priviliges to install the packages and software you need. I use the cheapest virtual private server plan at linode to host this tutorial publicly. I wouldn't try hosting a HappS project publicly using a shared hoster like dreamhost that doesn't give you root powers to administer your server. (Dreamhost is great for other things, like cheap storage for online images.)
