I'd love to help. I'm sure I would learn something in the process. The other day Nate and I were discussing what we could present as demo. It's sort of tuff when you consider all of the subjects that should be covered. For example just the differences between platforms (although minor) can hinder a newbie. Then there is the database that will be used (I of course would like to see Postgres used). Just explaining the power of biz objects could take up a lot of time. Then what about the question of using the ClassDesigner vs hand coding. Screencast are great but do they really do a good job of explaining the underlying code? So your tutorial document would be challenge indeed. Love to help just tell me what I can do. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
