This is a selection of tutorials I found online that I have found particulatly interesting or helpful.
With all these tutorials, you can click on the link embedded in each title to go to the original source material – or, if you wish, download a PDF backup of the page they are on.
Why the PDFs? Well, I created them as an ‘insurance policy’ because I have been disappointed to find in the past that some of my favourite tutorials suddenly disappeared from the web. Also a few of the backups have been translated (with varying degrees of success) into English from their original language – saving you the trouble of doing it.
