Although I "really", "really" do appreciate what you say above these
lists are specifically for helping people with the problems they are having.
It is great that you are willing to read the docs first
(more people should) but as you an experienced developed I would assume
you are going to ask questions that make sense ;).

So please, feel free and take your best shot :)

On a general note it may be productive for you to look at the other
procedural languages as well.
