Reading Style Results!
Earlier this week I proposed a poll, asking you what your preferred “Reading Style” is for Haskell articles. The results were fairly evenly split, although one answer did stand out a bit. Here are the results:
- In Depth Reading: 32%
- Quick Reference Guide: 23.8%
- General Haskell: 23.8%
- Code Ideas: 20.5%
The winner was In Depth Reading, which is really good for me to know! When I read personally, I tend not to have the patience to follow an entire article and copy the code from it. But apparently you, my readers, do enjoy it!
In a sense, this is good because I’ve often written with this style in mind. I tend to dislike tutorials that assume too much about the reader’s knowledge and what other tools they might be using. So I often try to make sure I include everything that might be important.
Going forward, I’ll try to have a good balance of article types, but with a slight emphasis on in depth tutorials. I’ll be tagging articles with their different types so you know what to expect when you’re reading it.
This will start next week, as I start writing about my work exploring Dijkstra’s algorithm. So check back in on Monday!
