Guided Tutorials 2.0 outline:

• Beginner User Level:
  • Very brief intro to GR, SDR, DSP, i.e. this page- Guided Tutorial Introduction. We should reference to external sources for DSP/SDR background for those who need more
  • Intro to GR usage- GRC and flowgraphs, i.e. this page- Guided Tutorial GRC
  • Understanding sample rate, and how hardware and decimation/interpolation blocks impact it. So Guided Tutorial Hardware Considerations and Guided Tutorial Extras Sample Rates and Barry's new writeup, but we can probably condense it down
  • Brief intro to PMTs, stream tags, and messaging passing (refer to Usage Manual for more info), i.e. this page- Guided Tutorial Programming Topics
  • Example practical usage of GR- PSK Demodulation, i.e. this page- Guided Tutorial PSK Demodulation
• Intermediate User Level:
  • Understanding a flowgraph's python code, content can come from Guided Tutorial GNU Radio in Python
  • Writing your own block (using Embedded Python Block), content can come from Guided Tutorial GNU Radio in Python and elsewhere
  • Writing the YAML/XML file for a block
  • Out of Tree modules, should cover creation/installation and both Python and C++ blocks (but not writing them blocks themselves)
  • Writing blocks in C++
• Expert User Level:
  • Writing flowgraphs in C++ (new to 3.8)
  • Volk- what it does, why it rocks, how to write new kernels
  • Working with ALSA and Pulse Audio
  • (any of the other really niche topics we already have tutorials for, i.e. the order isn't going to mean much)
• Developer Level:
  • Source level debugging C++ OOT modules with Visual Studio Code, see UsingVSCode
  • Building and Source level debugging C++ OOT modules with Eclipse, see UsingEclipse
  • Using Git with GNU Radio, see DevelopingWithGit
  • (anything else developer centric)
