ZIO Tutorials
Table of Contents
A few "how to" type tutorials are provided. They assume C++ libraries and/or Python modules are installed and available. See install for how to provide that.
1 Languages
ZIO Python package implementation all ZIO concepts while the ZIO C++ library lacks some higher-level concepts (eg, brokers). The existing tutorials thus, so far, only cover the Python implementation. Where a C++ implementation also exits, it follows almost identical patterns, just different language syntax. Studying a Python tutorial should be sufficient for using the C++ implementation, should it exist.
2 Prepare
In addition to installation it is helpful to have
ipython available and running to try out code snippets.
$ pip install ipython $ ipython In [1]: import zio
3 The Tutorials
The tutorials are listed below approximately in order that they should be exercised.
- message ZIO's multipurpose message object
