New Tinderbox Tutorials

Several Tinderbox users have recently published exciting introductory tutorials. Steve Zeoli offers a terrific general introduction (part one | part two), Dave Phillips (cafedave) shows how he uses Tinderbox to plan a sermon, and Steve Winnick uses Tinderbox to probe the weaknesses of a criminal case.

The Tinderbox community is an amazing resource. Want a tutorial on a different topic?  Ask in the Tinderbox Forum; you may be surprised!
