1. need tutorial
Hi, I am VERY new to Euphoria, as much as any programming language. I know
a little bit in qbasic, but how much is that worth? If someone would take
the time to write a tutorial for me in Word or direct me to a tutorial that
explains the basics of Euphoria and tells you what each statement/symbol
does
(some demo's would be nice to) after all, i'm only 11
Thanks, John Maughan

Hi John:
Each statement is documented in the /euphoria/doc/ directory,
mainly in the files library.doc and refman.doc. If you would rather
view these using your web browser, the same info is in the directory
/euphoria/html
For demos, look in the archives at http://www.rapideuphoria.com/exestuff.htm
Find something interesting, and make minor changes to the code to get it to
do something better or differently. Make one change at a time, so that it
will
be easy to see what works and what doesn't.
Once you've done that, just think of something you'd like to write, and ask
here for help. (Just a hint: of all the different programming jobs, games
can
be the most difficult and challenging. So don't plan on writing a new
"Quake"
anytime soon ;)
Regards,
Irv

John,
David Gay wrote an excellent beginner's guide some time ago. I believe it
is current to v2.0 (which will be plenty to get you started on). You can
download it from http://members.aol.com/Euphoria2/abgte2.zip
Also, when you're ready to get into Windows programming, Ad Rienks and
Wolfgang Fritz have a wonderful win32lib tutorial. It can be found at
http://www.king.igs.net/~wolfritz/tutor.htm
Be sure to visit the recent contributions and archive pages on the RDS
website for tons of examples. And of course, feel free to ask us plenty of
questions. Welcome to the list, and happy coding!
Brian
