[sfbay-supercollider-users] A Gentle Introduction to SuperCollider

[Bruno Ruviaro]

Hi all,

I would like to share with everyone this new SuperCollider tutorial I wrote
over the Summer. It's specifically written for total beginners, and it's
Creative Commons licensed, so feel free to share, copy, distribute, remix...

... and in case you'd like a nicely printed copy at cost value:

The title is a little homage to Touretzky's Common Lisp book, which I loved
when I read it years ago. This tutorial is also very much indebted to David
Cottle's intro chapter on the SuperCollider book.

Differently from other tutorials that I know, this one focuses a lot on
Patterns first, leaving UGens and synthesis for a bit later. Over the last
couple years I've found this to be a successful approach with my students
at Santa Clara University.

I consider this tutorial to be in "beta version" -- I'll try it for the
first time in a classroom situation this Fall, and probably will change
things over time. So I very much welcome feedback from anyone who cares to
read it -- anything from typos to possible mistakes, unclear explanations,
suggestions for nicer examples, etc.

Cheers,

Bruno
