Documentation

As a rule of thumb, the tutorial is best suited for beginners looking for an introduction to the general structure and features of the library, while the cookbook is intended for more advanced users looking for a specific use case. Another useful guide are the demos in each BioJava module.

The BioJava tutorial

The goal of the tutorial is to give an educational introduction into some of the features that are provided by BioJava and each of its modules.

The tutorial is being hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/biojava/biojava-tutorial.
