 First Steps

The following is a set of topical guides to various aspects of the Toka language. It was written as the initial tutorial material, but as should be evident, I am not a great writer of tutorials.

The material should be fairly easy for a moderately experienced programmer to pick up. Easier still if one has experience with Forth, Joy, Factor, or other stack-based languages. If you have no experience with stack based languages, the tutorial may be helpful before you start working through these sections.
