This is Mort's (azaroth@liv.ac.uk) introduction to programming online in MOOs. I assume no prior knowledge of anything beyond the basic player commands in most MOOs. Experienced programmers will doubtless find some of this a little boring, but there's some tricks that will catch C or Perl hackers in the way that MOO handles things, so try and stick with it.
Some of the contents of this tutorial are specific to GondolinCores, and I'll mark these with (gc) such that if you're not going to be coding on a GondolinCore, you'll know to treat it with a grain of salt.
