Erin,
First of all, be very welcome. You just found the best resource ever
to Revolution which is this mailing list. If you have doubts or
questions, leave a post here, someone will point you in the right
direction. I find this list the most amusing thing ever!!! People are
friendly, code-sharing and very fun. xTalk languages are somewhat
different to the workflow php/c coders are used to, but once you
understand what you're doing, there's no turning back.
Since you styled yourself as a web coder, I'll put some links I find
cool so that you can have more resources. As some readers will
probably be aware, the first thing I always recommend is Richard
Gaskin "beyond the browser" article <http://www.fourthworld.com/
embassy/articles/netapps.html>, we're living in a techworld that is
too centered into the browser app, and this article brings a fresh
wind into our clouded ambient.
If you like CGI then you can look into libCGI, launch Revolution
Online and go to Rodney Tamblyn user (which is Rodney). Jacqueline
Landman Gay did a very nice tutorial on CGI with Rev <http://
www.hyperactivesw.com/cgitutorial/index.html>.
As your knowledge grows, it will become clear that the message
hierarchy is one of the great things about Rev and you can learn all
about the message system using Dar Scott Message Primer <http://
www.swcp.com/dsc/revstacks.html>.
Well, as I said, be welcome! have fun!
cheers

Not sure if this is appropriate, but I wanted to say hello and
introduce myself to the list as a new Revolution user. I'm a web
programmer that uses PHP, javascript, and MySQL most (ASP if I have
to, Java if at gunpoint). For standalone apps, I dabbled a bit with
VB, even less with C++, and too much for my liking with Java--none
really did everything I wanted with the learning time I had available.
But so far, Revolution has *impressed* me at every turn, and I
think I've found the tool I've been looking for to complete the
dozen or so programming projects swirling around my head. I'm
working through the tutorials included with the software, have
started reading Dan Shafer's book, and find myself wandering around
Revolution's great online documentation.
Are there any other resources I should be checking out as a new user?
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to learning from this list
and meeting other users. Cheers,
-- Erin
