You give me more reading work than my Econ professor did!!!!  So far, it
seems the most important topic in the soldering world is the advent of
lead-free solder and all of the problems that SAC solder causes when used
outside of a inert nitrogen environment.   Am I going to have to get a
pressure tank for my toaster oven?

Now to figure out what drossing, whiskering and filleting mean re: solder
and what all the various acronyms like HASL, OSP, Ni/Pd and look to look for
some basic soldering tutorials.
