Launching Today: Mathematica Online
I'm curious about other people's experiences learning the Wolfram language if they're not already a mathematician.  I've been tempted a few times, but the language (and Mathematica itself) has so far struck me as one of those "Sure, seems like it can do amazing things <i>after</i> you already know how to do it" types of technologies.  As opposed to languages where you can reason yourself towards the correct approach.  It seems sort of similar to Applescript that way.  What was it it like for you to learn it, and how did you go about it?
