====== Welcome to SDF User Contributed Tutorials ======

{{  :sdf-card-02.png?300|sdf.org Public Access UNIX System; A non-commercial Internet community}}

This is a shared, member contributed, set of tutorials for existing and potential [[sdf|SDF]] users who are interested in the [[wp>Internet|INTERNET]], the [[wp>Unix|UNIX]] operating system, and programming languages. The purpose of this wiki is to help new users learn about the [[http://sdf.org/|SDF Public Access UNIX System]] and UNIX through practical and useful examples.

Initially, this was a subset of the information from the //HTML((Something of a //html2docuwiki// dump of the traditional HTML tutorials exists [[https://git.sdf.org/peteyboy/tutes-dump/src/branch/master/dump|here]]. It was useful for [[porting existing tutorials to the wiki|replicating content in this wiki]].))// tutorials at [[http://sdf.org/?tutorials|sdf.org → tutorials]].

It's expected that the <nowiki>SDF.org</nowiki> wiki content will grow and change. If you have SDF wiki access, please write additional tutorials, migrate traditional tutorial content updates/changes, or port new upcoming traditional tutorial content. If you aren't familiar with wikis, here are some [[wiki_authoring|instructions]] to help get you started. Copies of the SDF traditional tutorial import //data ((Something of a //html2docuwiki// dump of the traditional HTML tutorials exists [[https://git.sdf.org/peteyboy/tutes-dump/src/branch/master/dump|here]].

====== Tutorial Wiki Playground ======

You can mess around on the wiki in the [[playground:playground|playground]] namespace, which is separate from and won't affect the main wiki. So if you want to practice before making changes to the wiki, go there and mess with it however you want (remember the wiki has version tracking, so even egregious changes can be undone rather quickly!)

One thing in the playground is an idea for a different front page: [[playground:a_cleaner_front_page_--_push_most_things_into_sub-menus|Playground Proposed Front Page: Welcome to SDF User Contributed Tutorials]], check it out and let folks know if you like it on the TUTORIALS board in [[bboard|bboard]]
