Dear Phiroc,
I am also a newbie to Haskell, but I also must confess having a sort of
religious conversion. I also admit that the learning curve for Haskell, and
in particular associated theory is steep, and I am only on the fist rung of

Phiroc,
I'm new to these ideas too--especially since my college math training
is non-existent. I found the following wikipedia articles
particularly illuminating on the topic of side-effects:
