software-design-in-haskell Suggestion: Add a Section on YouTube Channels

Videos online, specially YouTube, have been of considerable help to me so far, specially when it comes to knowing how other Haskellers work — Haskell noob still after some months of probing around —, but not all of the channels I've found so far were easy spottings, so maybe people would appreciate them listed somewhere. And where better than here?

Some of them were listed indirectly in some of the current sections, but here is a list of the ones I have been saving so far, in alphabetical order:

Maybe there could be a subsection on great screencasters, it's always a wonder to watch great craftsmen at work.

I imagine most other Haskellers know a whole lot more channels, maybe they can contribute to this thread before incorporating it into the core documentation. Listing the channels here would also help the creators keep on doing their great work.

Hi @psygo , thank you for your contribution! Although I'd avoid adding just people who produce stuff. This is a bit unfair to others who are not listed here. In contrast, there is a section with talks related to Software Design in Haskell. It's rather small, - not because there are no extra videos, but because this list is mindfully opinionated, and I selected the only material I found worth mentioning. So putting just people into this list won't be that appropriate, but you might want to create a separate list for that. I'll leave this issue open if that matters. And I hope the creators won't be offended by this, because, well, I'm not offended by them not mentioning me in any form.

I still think it's valid and makes sense, but it's obviously for you to decide. My point of view when creating that list was that great talk or book doesn't need to be awesome in its entirety, it just needs to have the right, minimum amount of greatness. I think that's the case for the channels mentioned above, and many others: they don't have 100% of amazing content, but enough to be worth mentioning as a valuable resource.

At any rate, if they still don't fit the bill, maybe they could be outsourced to an appendix section.

So putting just people into this list won't be that appropriate

Some of those channels do have the person's name on them, but 99% of the content is only related to Haskell.
