i am an expert and Scott's website is usually bananas to me. For some people his approach doesn't seem to click.

A good beginner book for F# is a good idea.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one lol. I'd spend top dollar for a beginner's book focusing on creating short 1/2 page programs like guess my number, hangman, plotting graphs...etc and only mix in things like currying and monads later in the book along with C# interop.
