I think you get emailled a full version of PureBasic which includes all the online help, libraries and your keyfile (assuming you buy online). Apparently there is a German distributor who sells PB on CD although this is cheaper and you cannot use the upgrades.

The docs basically consist of a reference manual, which cover the use of the editor, compiler, keywords and commands. There are quite a few example sources though.

Tutorials? As in "here's how to program in PB"? Not that I know of (although there was a group of people from these forums trying to write a book like that). There might also be stuff on the PB resources site (http://www.reelmediaproductions.com/pb). Of course, there is quite a lot of source code floating around that you can look at and learn from.

By coincedence I just found this: http://www.purebasic.com/download/PB_Tu ... german.zip
If you can read German it might be useful (I cannot comment since I do not).

Currently there should be someone, who is translating it to english, Fred ?
