Prerequisites

For best results with this tutorial, you hopefully have the following.

• Basic knowledge of Haskell and HTML.
• A somewhat modern computer. This tutorial has been run on as little as a PIII with 512 MB of RAM.
• A modern operating system. You should be able to develop Happstack applications using Windows, OS X, or Linux.
• If you want to create a public web site based on the materials here, I recommend getting either a private server or a virtual private server which gives you admin privileges to install the packages and software you need.
• 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.
