Serious. Super serious.

No, really, Mathematica is great. It can do some amazing things and it's really easy to write reusable code for.

What advice or pointers would you give to start learning & using mma for real problems?

I tried to learn it a few times and it worked great for toy problems, but when I tried to write an entire script a la python/c/matlab, I failed miserably
