Documentation
The OCaml Tutorials
The official OCaml tutorials (chapters 1 to 6 of the manual), written by the creators of the language, are the best place to start. They form a complete introduction to programming in OCaml, including the module system, objects, polymorphism, etc.
The OCaml API
This is the place you'll end up most often! You'll find the
documentation for all modules that ship with any OCaml
distribution. These modules form what is called
the Standard
Library. In addition, a special
module Stdlib contains
the core
library, and is always open.
The Tools
Many tools are bundled with the OCaml language. Among them, the REPL (or `toplevel'), the documentation generator, lexers, the debugger, profiling tools, etc.
The Language Extensions
Don't forget to regularly check the
Language Extensions,
they will keep you up-to-date with useful new OCaml idioms
and constructions.
The OCaml Manual
The complete documentation is bundled as a large OCaml Manual. This manual is also available in PDF, plain text, as a bundle of HTML files, and as a bundle of Emacs Info files.
