Impressive. It spends a whole chapter showing you how to develop a 
library, how to compile it the hard way, and how to construct a Cabal 
package from it - but it *doesn't* mention how to upload this package 
onto Hackage, the central Haskell online package database. What's some 
omission, eh? (I mean, *why* would you bother to package something for 
distribution other than to distribute it??)

It also fails to mention the easy compilation method anywhere. Genius.
