Houdini
If you've landed here and you're totally new to Houdini, maybe head to HoudiniGettingStarted first, has a quick overview of how to use this site, and how to get comfy with Houdini as quickly as possible.
The intro tips are a little old, but still give a pretty good overview of what Houdini's about.

Basics
Soup/Sop basics
- Had to remind myself why this intro section is written in this way. I started out learning SOuP, an implementation of Sop style logic in Maya by Peter Shipkov. I wrote down what I learned on the Soup page, then later figured a good way to learn Houdini would be to port those Soup examples over.
Talk about convoluted! Anyway here they are, they're still a good way to get into a Houdini mindset, cover the basics.
