How to begin learning probabilistic programming?

The tutorials, especially the language intro tutorials, are designed for users with no background in probabilistic programming. Part 2 of the intro tutorials has recently been updated to make it more accessible: pyro/intro_part_ii.ipynb at dev · pyro-ppl/pyro · GitHub

Do you think there are parts of the tutorials we could clarify?

If you prefer videos and slides, see this forum post: Pyro Tutorial Videos (MLTrain@UAI2018). Another good introduction to probabilistic programming is the online textbook Probabilistic Models of Cognition, which also assumes no background knowledge.
