VL.TheBigBang

This is a tutorial series covering all nodes and techniques to get you started with the visual programming environment vvvv and its language VL.

You can also find a short series of video tutorials based on these patches on Youtube.

Installation

If you are new to vvvv, download it over at www.visualprogramming.net.

Afterwards, click on the little gray icon in the top left corner (the so-called Quad Menu), navigate to "Manage Nugets > Commandline" and type the following:

nuget install VL.TheBigBang

When the package is successfully installed, hit F1 to open the Help Browser and scroll to the section called "TheBigBang". Have fun and let me know if there are questions or problems by opening an issue on GitHub!
