I was getting really buggered reading javascript today morning so I decided to try out this really absurd language I have known for a while but never really used. I searched for a good source of tutorial but I somehow always end up with the wikipedia page!

Is there actually any good tutorial source out there? I would love it if someone could point me to a source which actually pointed me how to represent all the alphabets in bf..

EDIT:

I have been able to dig out some good references but I am not sure how effective they are given the language is pretty much what it says it is!!!

Here are my links... But I am looking for the most basic tutorial... Including one that points me to how each alphabet is represented.

What tutorial? There's not much to write about... you got these 8 ridiculously low-level instructions and an array of memory cells, and that's it. Wiki is the best source on these.

Now if you want guidance on how to write nontrivial (I won't say "useful") programs... you're pretty much out of luck, I fear. But there are various snippets on the wiki page and the esolang wiki links to many resources.

Well a tutorial is worth it *especially* because the language provides so little. All the constructs that exist in other languages need to be constructed manually and a tutorial can help you how to do that.

This is like giving somebody the Haskell98 report and thinking he'll know now how to code an advanced program in haskell.

+1 for you, I like how concise it is.. I still hope if you can find any reference as to how all the alphabets can be written via bf, you could post the link... Thanks... :)
