Introduction

This is the current Alpha Version of the Monkeys at Keyboards web-page, and contains the full notes for only one set of teaching material. More material will follow in the near future.

This page (and indeed, almost all pages within the site) are generated via a software tool from XML documents. As such, there may be the occasional quirk or bug - please report these as and when you encounter them. If you don't, they'll never be fixed!

The following material is currently available on the site:

Somewhat more niche are our LPC documents. Those who wish to explore this language should check out lpmuds.net - a general LPMuds site -for support on this topic. Those who wish to make use of this material specifically should download theDiscworld MUD public release mudlib, since the content covered is specific to that codebase. They're available only in PDF form at the moment,but will migrate to the web-books architecture when they're next redrafted.

They are currently in an early draft format, so the correctness and aesthetics of the files cannot beguaranteed. Please let me know if there are any issues that you encounter.
