Throughout this period, I've been accumulating some notes about some things that I found challenging along the way. The notes are not organized in any way, and they're certainly not complete. I've published them on my web site [1] in case the perspective might be useful to any "old hands" here.

Also on the topic of perspectives:
In recent conversation with a colleague, he mentioned to me that the term "functional programming" has an image problem. He suggested that the term conveys an impression of an approach that is staid, non-progressive or lacking novelty, and is prone to elicit a response of "been there, done that" from programmers who don't realize the full significance of the term "functional". I've also noticed that when I talk about "functional programming", some people tend to think I'm talking about using techniques like functions in C or Pascal (which is course is very desirable, but old hat and not worthy of great excitement).
