Several tutorials were pointed out to me:

The following can be accessed from the Homescreen:
1. Getting started with Wolfram Programming Cloud: http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/video.php?c=362&v=1051
2. A Fast Introduction for Programmers: http://www.wolfram.com/language/fast-introduction-for-programmers/interactive-usage/
3. "Thing to try" notebook: https://programming.wolframcloud.com/objects/7ea9a27a-1ea8-4df6-9f99-8995ef312428
4. Click orange "View all>>" next to "Introduction and How Tos". It will open the following page in the Documentation Center: http://reference.wolfram.com/language/howto/WorkWithWolframProgrammingCloud.html

The How To pages in the Related Links are very helpful.

Is there something more you were looking for? (Try to be specific.)

Just a general comment, and not a specific problem. Like a bunch of other folks ... I am just getting started with the Cloud. It would be really helpful. not to mention a huge timesaver for the folks at WRI, if we put together a short "working tutorial" for people ... very basic steps to get started and get rolling. Keep things very simple, but lay out a pathway that works. Maybe there is a very basic educational tool already on the WRI web site somewhere?? thanks, Pete

When i try to authorize in the cloud (my usial Wolfram ID & password), i receive an answer:

Unknown request token "f98ddf2e3561c719f5093651ca090791053ae8bd0"

2-nd attempt:

Unknown request token "ba0c47f2ec89d9faa2885e1070039448053aeac38"

and that's all.

When you take away this problem - please inform me by e-mail - i'll try again and write here the new result.

Mr. Holmes,

Thank you for taking the time to post this. I sent your report to developers.

I should point out that this thread is for problems accessing Wolfram Programming Cloud, not problems using it.
