Dataflow Tutorials

While a Pd user (which is, lovingly enough, a Pd programmer at the same time) can learn how to use it just by playing around and trying new things, there are important functions that are not immediately apparent through play, trial and error.

The following tutorials try to explain and practically demonstrate in quick simple way some of the more important 'grammatical' aspects of this graphical programming environment.

All examples in the tutorials are available as Pd patches. It is recommended to download them and try them out while reading the tutorial. Get the zip here: http://en.flossmanuals.net/floss/pub/PureData/DataFlow/DataFlowTut_patches.zip

These tutorials can be used in two ways:

1. they can be followed from start to finish
   
2. they can be accessed also as a reference
   

So if something is too obvious to the reader, she can skip a section or two (or just check the screenshots).
