Comment:

 With all the recent work done on the coding theory library in Sage, the
 existing thematic tutorial on CT should be updated.

 This tutorial has (imho) some problems:

 - it is more a catalog of available methods and constructions rather than
 an actual tutorial
 - it goes very fast into very specific methods and details, which should
 not be mentioned here

 This ticket proposes a complete rework of this tutorial, which, instead of
 listing methods and constructions, gives some clues on how to build
 generic linear codes and perform standard operations (encoding, decoding,
 adding errors in words) for people working on coding theory.
 It also explains to the user how to find any method and construction he
 needs.
 Furthermore, it keeps things simple and never goes into technical details,
 or advanced scientific notions, preferring in that case to redirect the
 interested reader to manual pages instead.
