This page provides an overview of X10 with an emphasis on those topics that are most likely to be of interest to educators.

Introductions to the X10 Programming Language
We have given a number of Tutorials about X10.
The OOPSLA 2005 paper X10: An Object-oriented approach to non-uniform Clustered Computing by Charles, Donwa, Ebcioglu, Grothoff, Kielstra, von Praun, Saraswat, and Sarkar introduces the basic concepts of X10. Although the X10 1anguage has evolved considerably since 2005, this core concepts covered in this paper are still applicable.
The X10 Language Specification is the definitive definition of the X10 language.
