I've noticed with basically every platform coming out today, there are an impressive amount of tutorials. Bitcoin doesnt seem to have much of a tutorial database outside of the official bitcoin developer pages. I'm just wondering why there seems to not be much of a push from the community to have more tutorials on the technical side of bitcoin.

I think it would benefit developers and the bitcoin community a considerable amount if there were more resources for developers, will we start to see more of them as time goes on?

I think that you are wrong. There are many tutorials, videos, explanations out there but they are all very badly organized and spread out. They are hard to find. This is by far the biggest problem of the decentralized systems, lack of organization.

What we need is someone getting all of this info together and incorporating it into one website, but this is a huge amount of work.

Disagree. You must not go much away from this forum. You have here a full section named "beginners and help" here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0

Then even in various sections of this forum again you can find various threads named for example: New to bitcoin. Read here first.

Don't want to mention here thousand of videos on you tube an numerous sites if you do e simple search in google. All those told by the above posters.

the problem is not the lack of tutorials but the fact that some of them may be too tech savy for general user/average joe, it seems that maybe with need a tutorial in forms of video, which would explain in a more simple way about bitcoin in general

people usually don't have time to read anymore

To the people who just pop in and post shit, without reading the OP, here it is again. I highlighted the most important part of his question. He is looking for more resources for

developers. Not the average tutorials on the basics of what Bitcoin is. Please take some time and read through the OP's post before you start posting.

You can use some of this --> https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#block-chain or read this book --> http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920032281.do?sortby=publicationDate

Here is some more resources ----> https://github.com/jashmenn/bitcoin-reading-list

I'm not able to agree with OP.
Because this forum itself rich resource for learning about bitcoin ecosystem. There are many newbie friendly tutorials like bitcoin wiki and lots of YouTube videos. Nothing is easy and a quick task. Everything needs its own time. So, to learn about bitcoin then we must need to spend some time.

I haven't found a tutorial for turning my AUD into Bitcoin. I really needed to a few months ago but I couldn't. So I am forced to use a paid signature.

I have also found that this forum is a type of "living" knowledge base. When I'm lazy and don't want to google....I just ask my question here and get some valuable feedback....One can't beat that! All the movers and shakers in the cryptocurrency universe are right here. Programmers, economist, speculators, innovators, trolls....smile. It's live action, baby! Why, whatcha wanna know?

Best thing to do is just jump in with bitcoin. Tell people to open an online wallet and they can usually figure the rest out.

I don't think so. There are more than enough tutorials available for btc. At the time when i cam into this thing, there were enough tutorials(for an average guy and not for someone dumb). Now time has passed and more and more tutorials have come into being. There are always less tutorials for a dumb person and always enough for an average guy.

I don't agree with you, I think there are A LOT of tutorials.

But to be specific, what kind of technical activity are you looking for a tutorial on?

There are plenty of newbie friendly tutorials. I will give you a hint: http://www.google.com (use that website for any question you have about Bitcoin). Fuck, there's a Bitcoin Wikipedia entry! Wikipedia is user-friendly enough and anyone who can't figure that out is not fit to use Bitcoin, considering the knowledge in computers one has to understand in order to user the cryptocurrency. (BTW, where most people on this forum would tell you to "kill yourself", I do not condone suicide so for you I say GIYF (Google is your friend).

Hello there!

Yes, everything accumulates.
There are already tutorials for those who know how to use the search bar...
I do believe that the reason tutorials are being pushed out slowly is simply because someone has already made a tutorial for that subject.
Coursera has quite the beginner-advanced experience in their cryptocurrency course. (https://www.coursera.org/course/bitcointech)
It's all in the way you search my friend.

Probably not. However, there are many many tutorials around here on the forums. Just do a search and you will find many tutorials. There are also some tutorials here: https://21.co/learn/
