Wolfram Research has prepared a 3 part video tutorial (starring me LOL as lecturer) on the Fundamentals of the Wolfram Language.

it can be viewed at


and at

there are both a notebook and a pdf (42 pages long) containing the material presented in the video and it is a good idea to download it (links are provided to it at the sites), print it our and use it to follow along with the lecture. it also is a a good reference source to have around, and it’s free.

i hope this is useful to the community. it sure was fun for me to learn the Wolfram Language (WL), to use it to write code in 4 books and to teach it for many years.

happy hacking.

That is great material! Thanks a lot for sharing. It will be fantastic for the students in some of the courses I teach.

Cheers,

Great! I will watch these Richard.
Quick question: do you give an introduction to things like Entities and the ecosystem surrounding them?

Richard,
I watched these yesterday. Excellent stuff. I’d like to see more. :slight_smile:

David, he doesn’t go into Entities. It is more of an intro to WL and focuses on basic language features. The videos cleared up a few things for me (particularly pattern matching).
