[Twisted-Python] Beginners Guide to Twisted Anywhere?

[Anthony Tarlano]

If you can't figure out chapter 2, the (teaser) finger tutorial, then 
just skip it and go onto chapter 3 "Low-Level Twisted". And then chapter 
4 "High-Level Twisted", etc..

If you do, I pretty much guarantee that your opinion of the 
documentation will change. :)
