Tutorials

Tutorials

The tutorials are real executable .protos sources, not pseudo-code copied into website documentation. At build time this site reads the exact Protos revision recorded in protos-source.lock.json and renders each numbered tutorial group without modifying the program bodies.

The material is explanatory and non-normative. If a tutorial and the applicable specification disagree, the specification wins.

Progression

1. Values and slots
2. Objects
3. Closures
4. Control flow
5. Collections
6. Path values
7. Call arguments
8. Language interactions
9. Futures
10. Actors
11. Actor groups
12. System resources

Each generated group page links every lesson back to its canonical source at the same immutable Protos revision. The Protos code fences use the canonical LM009 TextMate grammar already consumed by this website.

System-resource lessons

The final group intentionally includes lessons with different execution authority requirements. In particular, not every system-resource example is a plain standalone-CLI program; the canonical tutorial README documents where an explicitly provisioned bootstrap-local capability is required.

Start with Getting started if you have not yet built the reference implementation.
