Since others have expressed an interest in having a RiveScript tutorial, I’ve spent the last couple days putting one together.

You can read it here: http://www.rivescript.com/docs/Tutorial.html

It covers just about all the features of RiveScript and provides code examples for all of them. It starts you out slow (making sure you can write and run your RiveScript code) and then leaves you to your own devices with code snippits that show what all can be done.

If you’ve been wanting to learn how to write RiveScript code, give this tutorial a read-through and let me know if any improvements can be made to it. If any parts are confusing, vague or could be elaborated on, I’ll be happy to fix them!

This tutorial will eventually be included in the Perl RiveScript distribution, so that page would be mirrored on the CPAN.

Wow! I’m surprised that nobody has responded to this yet!

I’ve finally had the time to read through the tutorial, and I have to say great work! If I had more time to do so, i’d love to take a look at the PERL source, and attempt to make a PHP port of the engine, but sadly, I’ve way too many irons in the fire.

Dave,

I recently gave this RiveScript tutorial a proof read,
and in my opinion, it is packed with valuable info for
chatter robot masters.

Very nicely done, Noah. Some great information! Thanks!
