About Windows programming I think it's better to learn the API way first.
It should
start with some concept about OS, multitasking (pre-emptive), and DLL's. Then
how this functionality CAN be used in Euphoria, followed by the basic API
calls
and their Euphoria implementation (RegisterClass, CreateWindow, etc.). Finally
a must is a good and complete Windows programming bibliography (starting with
"Programming Windows (95)" by Charles Petzold).
>2) The tutorial should run on DOS, Windows, and a third OS (Unix?????)
How about a tutorial viewer specific for each platform and a common content
file?
