Windows Programming Beginner's Guide
Based on communications between David Gay and me, I'd like to invite
recommendations for the following mini-project.
Project proposal draft 1
Purpose:
Create a Beginner's Guide to Windows Programming that enables DOS-type
programmers to make the conceptual leap to windows programming.
Intended Results:
1. Get across the basic paradigm shift between procedural programming and
event-driven object-based programming with simplicity and clarity.
2. Make clear the basic concepts that underly the Win32lib elements -
without tying
people to specific implementations.
3. Promote a set of programming practices that will save people time and
encourage clarity, simplicity and code sharing. (Note - one downside of
Euphoria is that it not only makes programming easier - it makes bad
programming easier.)
4. Give people a strong leg-up on using examples and other people's
programs.
5. Contribute to the community Euphoria effort by keeping the style
consistent with the RDS documents. (Perhaps offer to rewrite the
win32lib.htm to match that style?)
6. Make the document so attractive that more people are pulled to do
programming.
Any further suggestions?
Is there a generally accepted place to put my first draft, or should I put
it on my own website and let people look at it there?
