any recommendation for tutorials on functional programming

[Ulf Wiger (AL/EAB)]

I don't know how many have noticed, but there is actually quite a good
guide to the documentation on the splash page (the first page, with the
"e" logo, that comes up when you surf to the docs). You just have to
scroll down a bit to see it. 

BR,
Ulf W
