Programming documentation

This is the documentation embedded into each module which is part of the Demeter distribution. The PODs have been nicely formatted for html and organized into a hierarchical structure that looks like a CPAN project page.

Demeter Programming Guide

The DPG is a how-to guide written at a higher level than the programming documentation. It includes descriptions of how to use the main components of Demeter as well as several complete examples.

Athena Users' Guide

This is the manual for the older version of Athena. It has not yet been updated for the new, Demeter-based version. The new version is, however, sufficiently similar to the old that this is still useful for understanding how to use Athena effectively.

Artemis instruction videos

These are screencast videos demonstrating the use of the Artemis program for EXAFS data analysis.
