Structure of this tutorial

The tutorial is divided in 6 parts and each part is in several different sections. You can access any section directly from the main index or begin the tutorial from any point and follow the links at the bottom of each section.

Many sections include an additional page with specific examples that describe the use of the newly acquired knowledge in that chapter. It is recommended to read these examples and be able to understand each of the code lines that constitute it before passing to the next chapter.

Don't be scared to modify the examples provided with this tutorial. There are no reports of people whose computer has been destroyed due to that.
