Man I really need to follow your blog more closely, since my life has become hectic I don’t check out anyones blogs. However, over half a year later I find this post… whats funny is that you posted it on my birthday. :) So I got a shoutout from my favourite blogger on my birthday… pretty cool!

[…] week I have shown you the bare bone basics of LaTex. We learned how to create a simple hello world document, and the usual boilerplate code that goes […]

Great quick start. I learned LaTeX through the book LaTeX: A Document Preparation System by Leslie Lamport. It’s a really good book that details essentially everything you would every need to do with LaTeX, and is a great reference book. It was also great for just learning the ropes.

Thank you. I learnt LaTex to write my thesis. Though the learning experience was steep, I throughly enjoyed it and now I am happy I did that. Continue your posts with more lessons on LaTex.

@Luke – I started learning LaTeX purely after reading some of your earlier posts. I found the initial learning curve quite steep (just tried diving in), but eventually with the help of our mate Google I got the job done. Great idea to post an introduction to LaTeX (cheers Travis). I’ll look forward to the follow-up posts.

Be careful though – or else you may now get a load of messages asking you to ‘Do a post on XYZ…’ but I’m sure your always up for a sane techie challenge :)
