Welcome to the Globus Toolkit 3 Programmer's Tutorial! This document is intended as a starting point for anyone who is going to program grid-based applications using the Globus Toolkit 3 (GT3). We also hope experienced GT3 programmers will find it useful to learn about the more advanced aspects of GT3 and Grid Services.
The tutorial is divided into 3 main areas:
Getting Started: An introduction to key concepts related with Grid Services and GT3.
GT3 Core: A guide to programming basic Grid Services which only use the core services in GT3.
GT3 Security Services: A guide to programming secure Grid Services which use the toolkit's Security Services.
Future versions of the tutorial will include sections related to GT3 Higher-Level Services (programming Grid Services which use GT3 services such as Index Service, Job Management, File Transfer, etc.)
