Hi all, As one of the great unwashed (i.e. less proficient) Gambas users, I must say that I prefer Richards approach using annotated code examples at a simple level. I don't really feel comfortable with the idea of a paid-for tutorial system and feel that 'we' as a user base should freely

Would it be possible to have both solutions? I mean: 1) A web site to enter well-commented and well-written pieces of code, tagged so that searching is easy. Like my 3 year beginning project with gambasforge.net ... but i've really no time to purchass (the code is still available) a

This sounds like a good idea, and I would support it if there were people interested. I tried something similar @ our vectorlinux forums where I offered to help anyone as much as I could get on the road with gambas. Did not pick up a whole lot of interested people, as I remember, only 2 people
