Someone's request at the GDL support tracker prompted be to write
the "quickest and dirtiest introduction to a computer language you'll ever
see". It "weighs in" at about five pages right now and was supposed to be
aimed at the fellow who knows what an if-command is and would like to get
up an running in GDL (or IDL, which comes with a lot of documentation but
nothing quick'n'dirty as far as I'm aware).
Documentation for people who are intimidated by books that consume more
shelf-space than their stereo.
The URL is down there; feel free to have a look at it and suggest additions
or such (ideally right here). This is really in a "pre-alpha" stage and I
am already painfully aware that I'm not doing where() enough service (on
every top-ten-list of IDL features where() should occupy approximately
seven slots) but I'm curious as to the other things folks think should
really, really go into this (keeping the spirit of the document in mind):

Let me know, and in the event that I have some time off over the holidays I
may get around to making a better version of this that can actually be
presented to someone.
