-===== Mastering AmbientTalk =====
-Welcome to our tutorial pages on Ambient-Oriented Programming with AmbientTalk. We have divided the content in several different parts, each taking you one level deeper into AmbientTalk.
-== The basics ==
-This part of the tutorial basically shows AmbientTalk as a simple expression language. The contents of this tutorial include very basic things such as applying function, defining tables, etc. Experienced programmers can safely skip this section in favour of the [[tutorial:syntax|syntax overview]].
-== Building object-oriented software ==
-An Ambient-Oriented Programming language is inherently an object-oriented programming language. Therefore this part of the tutorial consists of techniques to build standard object-oriented programs without any care for concurrency or distribution. This tutorial is particularly worthwhile for people who are not experienced in programming in prototype-based languages.
-== Ambient software development ==
-Programming with ambient actors is introduced by means of a full-blown application, namely the one that is featured in our ECOOP and OOPSLA 2005 demos. This tutorial employs some of AmbientTalk's abstractions such as futures and ambient references.
-== Meta-programming in AmbientTalk ==
-This tutorial provides a concise overview of the reflective capabilities of the language by showing how ambient references are actually implemented in the language.
