Naming, like security, is central to Vanadium.

Naming is Vanadium's term for service identification and discovery.

The following tutorials build from the basics tutorial to demonstrate code and pre-built tools that implement and benefit from Vanadium naming.

• The Mount Table
  Wherein you use the basic tools of service discovery.

• Namespaces
  Wherein you manipulate multiple mount tables to create a rich namespace.

• The Suffix - Part I
  Wherein for the first time you build a server with multiple services and use the server's namespace to address them (an advanced tutorial).

• The Suffix - Part II
  Wherein you add fine-grained security to control access to your multiple services (an advanced tutorial).

• Globber
  Wherein you use the Globber interface to create your own server namespace (an advanced tutorial).

The naming concepts document provides a high-level discussion of naming that complements these tutorials.
