Would the best way to start learning ocaml without previous experience with functional languages be to start with the o'reilly book? or one of the 'tutorials' from the tutorial page?
<smkl>
the book is probably best, but if perhaps it's also useful to read the first chapters of the manual

<flia>
ah ok, thanks
<flia>
is the language hard to pick up?
<flia>
i've extensive experience with imperative languages
<smkl>
no, ocaml has imperative and object-oriented features too, so you can learn functional features and style while programming
<flia>
yeah, i've been dubbing between haskell and ocaml
<flia>
and it was one of the reasons that i chose for ocaml
<flia>
and also the fact, that the ocaml compiler seems to compile very efficient =)
