There are a lack of resources out there for things like this. Especially with functional programming. This is very well done explaining the fundamentals of FP along with having people actually write code that ends up showing them something. Too many approaches go one way or the other. Most FP stuff these days is trying to convert imperative programming users with corollaries to it. Actually new programmers do not have as much of a problem grasping FP as people think. The Clojure Bridge people have said as much in their experience training beginners.
