Tutorials are step-by-step demonstrations of how to access and analyze Rubin data products in the Rubin Science Platform. They are created and maintained by the Rubin Community Science team, and they adhere to the standards defined by Rubin's Guidelines for User Tutorials.
Tutorials are available in multiple formats: Jupyter Notebooks; command-line python tutorials; and instructions for remote access tools (e.g., PyVO, TopCat). They are often used as the basis for the Rubin Science Assemblies, for which some recorded presentations exist.
