Any purebasic e-book ?

Is there any free purebasic e-book (for beginners or any) available for download, possibly in *.pdf format so that I can print it and make learning of this programming language easier ?

I don't think there is. Because i have lots of freetime coming up over the summer I am considering writting a 'Learning PureBasic' book covering just about everything in detail from a first language perspective. Something akin to the O'reilly 'Learning' series of books. I'm just really planning it at the minute though.

If you want to print it, the reference manual is now available in PDF (it's still in progress but should be enough ro read) : http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/ ... nglish.pdf

Fred, thanks for sharing this important resource.

Question:

How complete is this .pdf (50%, 75%, 90%)?

Thank you again. I need all the help (any other bound book offers that folks have really enjoyed and felt easy to learn from... say for learning the Win32 API structure, COM automation, etc. etc. would be greatly appreciated as well) I can get.

I have read hundreds of posts just in this forum alone to work on getting use to the syntax, calls, etc. etc.

So much information scattered around I found it is the number one reason to making half of this harder than it should be to learn.

That's meant more as an insight, not a complaint.

Even though I am new to PB I really do see the power and what fun it can be to code through such platform. A big 'thank you' goes to the author(s) for creating it and offering it up (PB) at a realistic price!

Thanks blueznl. I printed the manual off today that Fred posted and I have read a bit of that and I find that I am still coming back to the forums to supplement, clarify various Constants, Keywords, etc. etc.

It seems to be helping.

I bookmarked your link and hope to get to that in the next few days. Thanks for sharing it.

Fred,

Just curious if there has been any recent updates to the PDF manual?

Thanks,
Michael

I was going to print the PureBasic documentation for reference. When I click on this link I get 232 blank pages in a PDF file. Is anyone else having this problem?

I don't remember the page count (did I post it on this Website, I think I did, well.. anyway)... but it was something like that I believe.
