Subject: [9fans] Suggestion: Programming Tutorial for /sys/doc
Topicbox-Message-UUID: e4bd90c4-ead2-11e9-9d60-3106f5b1d025

Hello. I've been trying out programming Plan 9 since I got the system  
up and I think I'm getting the hang of learning from man pages. I'm  
not a big fan of having to type "man -t 2 xxx | page" about 100 times  
a day to figure out something, and there are things that the man  
pages don't cover in a clear way, so I think a tutorial should be put  
in. I already started writing one, and I think it would benefit from  
being in /sys/doc. It will cover:
	- basics
	- compiler usage
	- file access
	- threads
	- graphics and controls
	- hopefully networking
	- debugging
within about 15-30 pages. Anyone like this idea? - Pietro
