The new address for the DaVinci tutorial documentation is:

http://cern.ch/LHCb-release-area/DOC/davinci/manuals/tutorials.php

 

You can choose between several DaVinci tutorials. Most cover the DC04 version. The latest one, held in June 2006, covers the first DC06 version of DaVinci. It is suggested to look at the slides of the most recent session and to use the latest version of the tutorial package:

 

> getpack Analysis/Tutorial v5r0

 

but there are always variations in the content of the slides depending on the taste of the speaker. Feel free to look at older talks.

 

Transparencies and hands-on exercises of the Gaudi tutorial held in the past are also available for self-teaching.
