Target Audience
This tutorial aims to be novice-friendly and introduce rholang from the ground up. If you've never ever programmed before, you may struggle at times, but if you know how to write a little python or javascript, you've got all the background I've assumed.
I'm not expecting you to be familiar with process calculi, be a master of any other languages, or understand all the theoretical math discussed in the RChain community.
