Hello World!

Every programmer's first program, this demonstrates the elements of a Salsa program.

Variables and Operators

Variables are the way to transport and manipulate data, and operators afford the simplest and most natural way to affect that data.

Control Structures

These provide the way to change the flow of the program with if-then-else and looping constructs.

Lists

Use lists to collect objects, manipulate them, and modify them as a whole.

Functions

Functions are also essential to all but the most simple of programs, and they open the door to powerful ways to manipulate data.

Lists II

Now lists are revisited with the power of member functions, as well as examples of the simplicity of Salsa.

Threading

You can easily call any functions which run simultaneously, and control their execution in many ways.

Miscellaneous

These are just some odds and ends -- comments, jumping, etc..
