My advice as a begginer myself: experiment! Do some toy array operation, such as matrix multiplication.
Test, test ans test. Mutable arrays are kinda easy, and very fast!
I did a LU matrix decomposition with pivoting a few years ago and it was pretty awesome.
With mutable arrays it was about 5 times faster than normal arrays.

I've got a problem that is linear time with mutable arrays, and something god-awful complicated (not sure of time complexity) without them.
What's the easiest way to use and understand mutable arrays? is it Data.Array that I want? Any good tutorials?
Thanks,
Dennis
