Does anyone out there know of any books, or programs to help learn
Euphoria?
I already have A beginners guide to Euphoria and it's a big help but ,
its not enough to really learn the language.

Hi Warrior.

I'm glad "A Beginner's Guide To Euphoria" helped you. However, as I previously
mentioned on my web page and in the documentation, the guide is for those
who have never programmed in Euphoria (or in any other language) before.
It's not for those who expect to become proficent in the language. This is
because it does not go that deeply in studying the
language. Had I been more in depth, I would have risked confusing and
overwhelming the new user. All I did was target about 80% of the language
set, of which I felt one must know in order to write first smaller and then
more complex programs.

There's a text file in Euphoria's DOC directory called WHAT2DO.DOC that I
feel is a great guideline that will show you how, as you say, to "really
learn the language". It recommends the steps required to become more
comfortable in
using Euphoria, some of which including studying the reference manual,
and first running and then modifying some of the supplied programs to see
what happens.

Good luck in learning Euphoria! :)

well seeing this is very limited language in terms of compatibility
(i mean there's only one euphoria interpreter/compiler to date,
right?) there aren't any printed books or anything out i don't
think...  however i think the www pages are enough to learn it off
of, i mean i did it...  all you need is a good understanding of
basic...  some ppl will tell you that it's similar to c, but they're
really lying :D...  it's just basic but cleaned up a bit with
borrowed c syntax here and there...  i dunno if you have any
questions i mean you can always write here...

Hmm..that doesn't mean it's bad.  I program in C, but love Euphoria.
Because Euphoria is what it is, I've seen people right things, and learn
things, quicker than they have in any other language.  In some cases,
people are programming in Euphoria who wouldn't have programmed in any
other language.

One thing I do like about Euphoria is the ability to use assembler code
I create for faster routines...in that case it is very flexible.  Use
Euphoria as the back bone, and bring in tons of assembler routines for
the demanding stuff.
