Here is a nice little site, with an intro to 12 tone row music.
It has a nice little applet/flash thingy, to teach you how to setup a 12 tone matrix.
I only know the basics of 12 tone row writing... as Ive only been teaching (ie reading up on it) myself.
Just thought Id share for those who are also interested! :)

"As a natural consequence of the increasing chromaticism of the time, the previous system of "functional tonality" which gave music much of its sense of order began to lose its effectiveness. A diatonic set of seven pitches which defined a key became so diluted by chromaticism that tonality lost its meaning. A mathematical system for achieving a sense of order was needed; complete equality of all twelve chromatic pitches and the emancipation of dissonance were also important objectives of the new system."
well thats me sorted, if only i'd have known before
