I haven't seen the ad in question, so I can't comment on that directly. I can, however, say that coding like a European speaking Mandarin may be enough to spark some interest in going further and then diving head (or feet, it matters not) first into the LC world, making mistakes, asking for help, and then gaining enough experience along the way to start helping others on the same path. It's the community paying it forward that moves this process along, not so much the documentation or the training materials. But the introductory materials are very important for those crucial first steps. > If I were to state "I speak Bulgarian", giving the imporession that I > have a very high standard in the language that would be dishonest and wrong. ...and after x years of xtalk, would you say you could code? I don't think it's a binary yes-or-no question... I think there are levels and degrees of knowledge, experience, comfort... -- -Mark Wieder mwie...@ahsoftware.net _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
