 Aldwych Tutorial   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
This is the first attempt at a tutorial for the concurrent object-oriented language Aldwych, which I have been developing.
Aldwych compiles into the concurrent logic language KLIC, which in turn compiles into C. The language is object-oriented in the Actors usage of the word, rather than in the Smalltalk usage (that is, while it can be considered as creating a community of interacting objects, it does not have inheritance).
As a tutorial, this describes the language in a way in which the features can be gradually picked up by working through it rather than in a way that is more complete but harder to grasp step by step.
