Part 2 Tutorials About the Tutorials Part 2 of this book is a collection of tutorials that illustrate pitfalls, work-around solutions, components, and algorithmic ideas that are useful when building workflow and media management systems. To make sure the tutorials are as useful as possible, I have purposely kept the coding of any scripts or source code quite simple and straightforward. You can add the "bells and whistles" to your own implementations. Upgrade your parameter-collecting support via getopt() calls, or range-check all the input arguments as well as redirecting errors to silence any unnecessary warnings.
