Materials for Learning OCaml

OCaml is an interesting functional language. There are lots learning materials on the Internet. I compile a list of resources for OCaml learning and reference.

Recommended OCaml learning and reference material

The book from Jason Hickey and the User’s Manual from INRIA are the best material I know to learn OCaml.
