Oh yes another one!
Please be gentle with me :)
Could anyone piont me toward the best place for a very, and I mean very gentle and slow introduction into B+ and programming per say! The only thing I have coded to date is a small and badly deformed webpage!
I would love to do a touch of GUI "I think thats the term", create a form, text box and a button sort of thing!

Many many thanx donkeyoaty

Thankyou for the reply.
All the documentation seems to asume that you already know some programming?
Is there a "dummies" book out there?

@donkeyoaty,
you may run some of the example provided, and have a look at the source code. Then, try to do a similar program from scratch.

This is usually a good approach to get used to the language.

Feel free to post here when you get stuck.

Sergio.

I actually think the manual doesn't assume you know programming. A language is made out of two types of instructions:
- program flow
- functions

The program flow is comparible with most other languages, functions are what makes B+ somewhat unique.

But do read the manual, it's very clear I think.

Thankyou!

My suggestion is to try out the different tutorials that you can find here on this forum.
This is how I introduced myself into programming B+ at least.
Some great tutorials there!
