Conceptual tutorial of PPL from the ground up

[CCJ]

Hey all,

I'm really looking forward to the big tutorial manual coming out for v2, but I've heard it focuses mainly on the visual programming. When I study a programming language I like to really understand what I'm doing, so I'd love to see a tutorial/tutorial series that introduces the Pocket Programming Language and then walks the reader through its component parts with small exercises that eventual culminate in a complete game. The youtube tutorials and various Q&A support threads I've found here tend to focus on high-level and/or very specific topics that don't really help someone who is just starting out with PPL. Would any PPL gurus be willing to work on a fundamental concepts-through-practice tutorial for the language?

Thanks,

CCJ

hey CCJ,
welcome to the forums!!
there isn't one big tutorial which describes everything yet, except for german speakers who has a full book available.
anyway I would suggest you check out the following sources:
1 the old tutorial page (www.arianesoft.ca/page.php?27)
2 the example codes in your PPL distrubution (eg the demo folder under MyDocuments/PPL2)
3 the newsletter archieve (www.arianesoft.ca/download.php?list.13)
and last but not not least this forum, if you have a discrete issue :D
luckily most of the v 1.x code is compatible to 2.x.
good luck and have fun!

This is on our list for the next few months. The PPL language itself deserves a nice tutorial book.
