New Forum Section - Please Fred, Opinions AnyOne
Posted: Sun Mar 05, 2006 8:54 pm
Hi,Everyone,I just thought I`d ask for some view about a new forum section for tutorials.
I have only every dabbled with programming(I have realised far to late that I`m far to thick!),and struggle to understand alot about programming a modern computer(be it windows,linux or whatever),with all of the ins and outs of modern systems,libarys,how to use/make where to get them,system calls how,where,when.
When reading the forums so much just goes straight over my head,when pepole talk about database access,servers,threads ect,it`s just not easily picked up for beginners,and I don`t know of any beginner friendly books which will intoduce all of the modern things that Purebasic is capable of accessing/producing.
So I got to thinking how great it would be if there was a Purbasic specific section doing tutorials on single subjects,prehaps by pepole who now that subject well.
We could have things such as game making,display a map,place sprites,scroll through worlds.
Application stuff as simple as how to build a small note pad,with text selecting/colouring,cutting,best ways to load and save, ect.
3D stuff, build a world,which tools to use and how,how to use objects detect collisions,3D overview/therory,how it all works.
They wouldn`t have to be huge sections,just a bit by bit,those that are in the `know` could post and those that don`t(ME!)could ask questions about the whole process.
I know the guys who are responsable for Purebasic wouldn`t have the time but there seems to be plenty of smart guys here that could,I know there have been some guides here and there,but I mean stuff just for PB,covering thing other than just the basics.
So Maybe fred would consider this,and maybe someone could do a poll
asking members.
Thanks and please spare a thought for all us patricks/homers,who just want to be able to use this brilliant language a bit better.
Cheers.
What do you other guys think .
