I've written a short (14-page) primer on using basic group theory commands in SAGE. It is available in the "Sage Documentation Project" area of the wiki, and via direct links below. There is a seperate post in the sage-edu list soliciting comments on the content.
I've used this project as a test case for converting LaTeX source into SAGE worksheets with "live" cells. I am using sagetex's sageverbatim environment to create blocks of code in the PDF. With a small custom "configuration" file I can send the same source file through the tex4ht tool and have it tag these blocks while converting the remainder into jsMath. Then a relatively simple Python script finds the tags and creates the right syntax for delimiting cells in a SAGE worksheet. I paste the result in the text-edit area of a blank worksheet, then save the result as an sws file. Short-term goal Proof-of-concept. (You're looking at it.) Medium-term goal Work with sagetex and tex4ht to make the config file and Python script obsolete. Long-term goal Have more flexibility in the SAGE notebook for cross-worksheet linking, and work with LaTeX and tex4ht sectioning commands so that entire books can be converted to a series of linked SAGE worksheets with good-looking typeset mathematics and live, executable code. LaTeX source, PDF, SWS below with CC-BY-SA-3.0 licenses. I've included the config file and script, but without open licenses, since I want them to go away, and I haven't taken much care with them.
