Tips

• When you dive into new realms of programming, be it web-audio, functional programming, or whatever it is you're after, don't be afraid to dive in and iterate. Start with simple micro-projects and keep growing a notch every time. I find it hard to really get into new technology without getting my hands dirty from the start. Practice is essential.
