In this way GRASS learning can be faster, new users can be productive in a short time and can be attracted fuelling the GRASS diffusion and development. The tutorial is structured to lead the learner through a path that introduces him in a very gradual and friendly way to the system, so, especially at the beginning of the tutorial, the exercises are described step by step and the result of every operation is also displayed allowing the learner to check the result of his own work. The website has been tested with all the available browsers and all the operative systems to guarantee the compatibility of the tutorial.

Since the impact on the new users approaching the system for the first time heavily affects the real diffusion of a software application, the request of a new tutorial, designed to help new users all over the world approaching GRASS, was very clear at the international conference "Open Source Free Software GIS -GRASS users conference 2002" held in Trento in 2002. The new English GRASS tutorial contains some new features and an introduction to the new version 5.7 that should become the next stable version of GRASS.

The comments of all the Italian users have been taken into account to set up the new English tutorial we present in this work. This first version has been widely used to teach GRASS in University courses not only in Trento but also in many others universities in Italy.
