I think we may have what you are looking for. Here is the current version of a "Sage Programming For Newbies" book that is under development: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/tkosan It is not quite finished yet, but it should contain enough information to get you started. You can also join the sage-newbie list ( the link is in the book ) to ask questions about the book and provide feedback on it :-) Ted --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://sage.math.washington.edu/sage/ and http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
