• Beginners - who want to run the offline reconstruction job loon and analyse the reults with ROOT.
• Intermediates - who want to extend loon by adding their own private code.
• Physicist Programmers - who are developing and maintaining reconstruction packages.
• Others - because there will always be others!

Beginners

• Work through the first 4 Tutorials:-
  • Looking at events with Midad
  • Analysing a loon job results with ROOT
  • Configuring and running loon Jobs
  • Looking at data with root macros

• Use the Package Overviews to learn about configuring individual packages in a loon job.
• Useful resourses for beginners are:-
  • The C++ Crib introduces the basic concepts of OO and offers explanations.
  • Glossary of OO and C++ Terms provides some simple definitions of the OO technology lexicon.
  • First Steps provides a hands-on introduction to C++, Objects and ROOT
  • Example Macros examines in detail example MINFAST macros. Although the macros are now obsolete they are still useful for people trying to read C++ code. of some of those C++ elements most frequently used by beginners.
  • Education Outlines some training programs and lists book reviews and external courses

Intermediates

• Work through the remaining Tutorials:-
  • Creating your own loon job
  • Using and extending the Demo package job modules
• Useful resourses for intermediates are:-
  • Concept Overviews which give rounded overviews of the key elements of our software and support tools (as opposed to Package Overviews that concentrate on a job user's perspective)
  • The User Manual which describes in detail how to write code to use framework services.

Physicist Programmers

• The User Manual
• Package Rationales (PackRats) - technical documents for package development and support.

Others

• Go to the WebDocs home page and scan down the left hand column looking for the subject area you want then across to the right hand column for the relevant links.
• Concept Overviews although their first purpose is to introducs concepts, Concept Overviews can play a secondary role in navigation as each has a section of links that can point to any related document.
