Basic advice for people new to Mathematica

Functional style

Avoid iterative programming using loops like For or Do, use instead functional programming functions Map, Scan, MapThread, Fold, FoldList, ... and pure functions. This makes the code cleaner and faster.

Transpose and dimensions

Get familiar with shorthand syntax (@, &, ##, /@, /., etc.)

Programming easily
