I was going to put a print/export feature in the tutorial, but I never got around to doing so. Perhaps Adam's tutorial can dump out a chapter, range of chapters, or the whole thing in a printable format like HTML or text. What would really be great is if it can be exported out in .PDF for Adobe Reader, but that would involve a good knowledge of the PDF format. > Another suggestion is to have seperate alternative sections for different kind of users. > For example, for people that have previous experience with basic or some other 'beginners' language. > And for example, for people that have previous experience with c++, delphi, pascal. > And off course, those with no experience. Separate would work. Another would be to take a page out of the book of the other tutorials where they say "if you have never programmed before, keep reading. If you have previous experience in another programming language, slip Programming 101 and start at the next chapter", or something to that effect. It would be one "book", but would have the ability to teach the person at different starting points depending on each person's background. It would also handle a teaching method you suggested a while back where one is taught how to program using Euphoria, rather than the approach my tutorial took and expanded on the manual RDS supplied using layman's terms.
