The Inform 7 Handbook

The Inform 7 Handbook: "In teaching small classes of middle-school-age kids how to write their first games using Inform 7, I learned two things: First, kids take to I7 programming very naturally. It's fun for them! But second, they often find the built-in Documentation in the I7 application difficult to deal with. I've heard similar comments from adults who sent emails to thank me for the Handbook.

Last year I had a new student gamely start with Chapter 1 of the Documentation and almost give up IF entirely on hitting pages 1.7 and 1.8, which deal with the Skein. I had forgotten to tell the class, 'Don't read those pages. They're confusing, and you don't need to know about the Skein yet.'"
