Basically, what is the best place to learn Arc?
I would like it to be free (though it isn't likely there'll be any paid-for Arc resources at this point).
Can you give more details? Do you have some prior programming experience? Do you mean in-person, in a classroom, online or something else?
I spent some time teaching programming using arc (might not be what you're asking for): http://arclanguage.org/item?id=19039. However, after some time I ended up moving away from arc: http://akkartik.name/post/mu. If you have some programming experience already, though, that might not be for you either.
