Is this a good book to learn functional programming?

Learn you a haskell for great good.
Also FP is overrated.

Is there a tutorial that steps you through how to get haskell downloaded and set up on an IDE for noobs that dont use vim or emacs yet?

I want to learn FP not worry about extra layers of learning things like IDE use

For example this book says

>A text editor and a Haskell compiler. You probably already have your favorite text editor installed so we won't waste time on that. For the purposes of this tutorial we'll be using GHC, the most widely used Haskell compiler. The best way to get started is to download the Haskell Platform, which is basically Haskell with batteries included.

Which doesn't help a noob like me

Download ghc
https://www.haskell.org/ghc/

Run the interpreter (probably better than compiling at first) using
ghci <file name>

That book is excellent, combine it Odersky free coursera course on FP and you are good to go.

'Haskell programming from First Principlss' is the best haskell book. Not free, unless you pirate it.

Seconded for Odersky courses on Coursera.

Solid book (may get difficult at times).
