Tutorial for beginners for Emergence Basic

[oneplace2u]

Is there a beginners Tutorial for Emergence Basic?
I know of the help area, but this is not really a tutorial for beginners.
I have learned a little from just picking up source codes from ibasic and then modifing them to fit into ebasic. They seem to work, but it does not tell me why it works.
Not knowing where to look or start a new program gets a little frustrating at times and would be alot better if there was a learning place to start

You also posted in the CB category.  Look at what Graham has started in the Learning to Program board there.
There is some overlapping between the two.

Some other discussions that Graham wrote can be found at http://ebasic.wikispaces.com/

Hi,

If you want to email me with what you'd like to know

i.e. how to do a windows screen, create a file, read a file etc i'd be happy to send you some sample code of mine, just let me know, but please give me a little time to send it to you.

Thanks,
Andy.

I have written several console exe programs.
But I have this one console source code that makes an html file that I would like to be able to show what it looks like when a person is filling out and making the program.
The console.exe file only shows each input statement one at a time. I would like the whole program to be displayed just like it would show when you ran the html except having the blank spaces where a person could fill in the blank areas and submit to save it. I don't even know if that is possible. If this is possible I need to learn how it is done.

To me, what you are describing is a window with edit controls on it.
The quickest example can be found in the database examples and specifically the "addressbook.eba" example.

Ignoring the database portion it will show you how to create a window, add edit controls for entering data and static controls for labeling.

And, as always, it really does help to go through the help files; even if you don't soak it all in the first few times.

Try to write some code then post it with specific questions you need help with.
There are plenty of people here who are willing to help you help yourself.

Hi Oneplace,

Here's a little introductory guide which might be of interest .. 

If you try the demo program, I believe a gremlin struck one or two single quotes, so you might have to change this kind ' ` ', with this kind ' ' '. 

it's not very obvious is it ..  ..

best wishes,

Graham
