<p>
The <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/peano/files/cookbook/cookbook.pdf">quick starter guide</a> is a document that I update on-the-fly.
It is very much hands-on. 
Peano's fundamental algorithmic ideas were first described in a concise format in the book
<a href="http://www.hut-verlag.de/978-3-86853-146-6.html" target="_blank">A Framework for Parallel PDE Solvers on Multiscale Adaptive Cartesian Grids</a> (see picture above).
I strongly appreciate if you buy the book, however there's also a 
<a href="http://www5.in.tum.de/persons/weinzier/diss.pdf" target="_blank">download version</a>.
More and more recent information is available in an excerpt from my <a href="https://community.dur.ac.uk/tobias.weinzierl/papers/habil.pdf">habilitation</a> that 
you can download for free.

If you search for information how to use Peano in the context or together with 
other software, please consult the webpages of the respective software (PeanoClaw 
or ExaHyPE) or have a quick look into the quick start guide (for PETSc).
