I bought the first edition and thought it absolutely excellent. The only section that could have been made more accessible was on arrays. People have a real conceptual difficulty with them, or some do, and its very hard to explain. There comes a moment when you realise that there is nothing really to be puzzled about, but before that they just stare at you and from time to time ask, but what is it, exactly?
You soon find that explaining it in terms of three D spreadsheets does not help, because in short order you are asking them to visualize four and five and more dimensions, which leads to more agonised stares. But with this small reservation, that this section could benefit from some expansion, I thought it was excellent, well recommended. It might be better to refer to them as 'editions' rather than 'printings', when the text is revised. Just a suggestion. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/ANN-Order-Programming-LiveCode-for-the-Real-Beginner-now-tp4710558p4710592.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ 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
