Prerequisites
For best results with this tutorial, you hopefully have the following.
- Basic knowledge of haskell and html.
- A somewhat modern computer. I have a PIII laptop with 512M of ram.
- A modern operating system. You should be able to develop HAppS applications using windows, mac, or linux.
- 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 privileges 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.)
- More requirements are described in the instructions for
installing and running this tutorial locally.
However, if you have the basics ingredients above you should be okay.
- Please let me know -- or patch the tutorial -- if I forgot something. I hate getting stuck on some finicky aspect of installation when I am trying to learn something.
Install me already!
