Thank you for that. One series that I thought did this really well was the Eric Meijer (father of LINQ in C#) lectures on FP fundamentals [1]. It was very much for OO programmers to get up to speed with FP and it was taught using Haskell. He goes through the series, building up a parser in Haskell, and then at the end (or a reasonable way through) he says "and that's a monad". Never once mentioning it until the watcher had grokked all the concepts up until that point. That 'big reveal' idea I think is probably the best way to do a monad tutorial, because it forces the tutor to stick to the motivations and the fundamentals.
