I just finished a decently flushed out sketch of an intro tutorial
and I would love some feedback. Give it a shot:

There is still a lot of material to cover, but this covers the
foundations. Plus there should be more exercises.

wow! this looks excellent. i'll be working my way through it next week some time i think. thanks.

I've cranked out a bunch more, plus a nifty pager object which allows you to navigate the patches with forward/back buttons. I'll post an update soon, today hopefully.

is there anything in there on data structures? thats what i'll be looking for soon.

I won't have time to do a data structures tutorial any time soon, but there are some basic things here:

One thing that this process has gotten me thinking is that these tutorials should be broken up into a lot of smaller units. Something like 10-20 patches per unit. Then for a workshop, you would use a few units per day.
