Not an expert in solidity but from my limited experience EVM and smart contracts have really different approach when it comes to computation.

two things that come to my mind:

- There is really no random() function due to need for determinism

- Space vs. Time complexity is distorted, the gas you pay for instruction vs. byte is really different economics compared to AWS EC2 instance/hour etc.

Not sure about articles but I can recommend Crypto Kittens Tutorial[1].

It has been some time since I did it(Late 2018 I think), but was really informative to get the mindset and different constraints people deal with in smart contract world.
