Introduction
------------
This is an introductory tutorial describing the use of Swift and its programming
language SwiftScript. It is intended to introduce new users to the basics of Swift.
It is structured as a series of simple exercises/examples which you can
try for yourself as you read along.

For information on getting an installation of Swift running, consult the
http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/swift/guides/quickstartguide.php[Swift Quickstart Guide]. We advise you to install the latest stable release of Swift. 
Return to this document when you have successfully run the test SwiftScript program mentioned there. 

There is also a 
sys::[../print_link.sh userguide]
which contains a more detailed reference material on topics covered in this manual. All
of the programs included in this tutorial can be found in your Swift
distribution in the examples/tutorial directory.
