Hello.
I am new to programming with Euphoria. I just started 3/14 and I need
some resources for good tutorials. I could use as many as you know. I am
looking for tutorials for the Windows version and some tutorials for win32lib
and tutorials that focus on "For" and "If". I am more used to perl and their
fors and ifs are a lot different. I would appreciate any suggestions you
might have. Also, maybe an idea for a program that is some what useful and
not to hard to develop.
Thank you.

As a first port of call, try http://www.rapideuphoria.com/abgte2.zip which is
the "A Beginner's
Guide To Euphoria"

Win32lib comes with many sample programs and a reasonable set of Docs. However,
we probably should
create an annotated edition of all the samples plus "tips".

'for' sytax is:
FOR <loop_index> = <start> TO <end> (BY <incr>) DO <body> END FOR
The FOR, TO, DO, and END FOR keywords are mandatory. <loop_index> is the
*name* of a variable that
Euphoria sets and controls during the looping code. You cannot change its value
at any time. The
trick to 'for' is that the loop index must not be already declared and its scope
is restricted to
inside the loop. <start> is the initial value that the loop index receives and
<end> is the last
value that it can have. The BY clause is optional. If omitted, <incr> is assumed
to be 1. At the end
of each iteration and before your loop body code gets control, Euphoria adds the
<incr> value to the
<loop_index>. If this cause the loop index to go beyond the <end> value, the
loop is completed and
the next line of code after the END FOR is executed. Between the Do and END FOR,
you can have any
number of statements, however some specific statements are not allowed (such as
procedure/function/constant/ etc...).
'if' syntax is:
IF <boolean_test> THEN <true_code> (ELSE <false_code>) END IF
In other words the IF, THEN and END IF key words are mandatory. If you have
an ELSE clause, it
must appear after the THEN clause and before the END IF statement.
<boolean_test> must be an
expression that results in an atom; zero means the test failed, non-zero means
the test succeeded.
<true_code> only gets executed if the test succeeded, and <false_code> only gets
executed if the
test failed. There can be any number, including zero, statements in either the
<true_code> and
<false_code>, however some specific statements are not allowed (such as
procedure/function/constant/
etc...).

You can also have any number of
elsif <test> then <statements>
between the then-part and the else-part.
PS all keywords should be lower case.
I also found it very handy to have a printed copy of refman2.html
(just that, 25 pages, not necessarily the whole thing) when I first
started.

My "RunDemos" creates an organized list of all the Win32Lib samples, with
descriptions, allowing easy locating of function implementation & running &
viewing code , and I'm working right now on improvements for it that will
allow easier adding & removing of demos from its list of demos. It's
included with Win32Lib, but there may be a more recent version at:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/wdemos.zip
For tutorials on Win32Lib, try Wolfgang Fritz's very good one, at:

I am not new at Euphoria. I just started programming in basic language and I am
also trying to learn c++.
If anyone knows how to use if & open command please tell me.
it keeps saying syntax error.
I even copy some stuff out of books.
if you can give me any good tips I would appreciate it.

I am confused. You are an experience Eu programmer, and you need help
with "if", "&", and "open" in Basic and C++?
