Hi Chip,
Thanks for the classes. I could not get on Team Talk while my computer
was down, my old computer had too many issues and one of them was 128 megs
of ram, not much space for anything but crashes 50% of the time...
Your classes were extremely helpful and gives a person the chance to
over-come the shock of a new way of program and that it is not as hard as it
seems.
In my future there will be questions to ask as I get more involved in
scripting. My Cuckoo Clock app is my only app and will build on it or add my
version of a Music Box or Juke box, but since that is being done already, I
may just leave it inside my Cuckoo clock in the future.
I wish to thank you not only for your class but your help when I got
back to programming several years ago when you responded unselfishly when I
had a question about which screen reader program was the best to use for
Access 2003 and such; getting me started back on programming outside of
Python...
I was wondering how much time and stress the class was causing and your
response speaks volumes and wisely, for family is first.
Thanks again Chip, you are a God send!
Sincerely
Bruce A. Babcock

Thanks Jeff, to you and Rick both; this is of course the other reason I
enjoyed doing the classes, because it helped other WE developers.
I do intend to keep on with the classes; someone writing me off-list made
me
realize that wasn't clear the way I put it; it's just that the every week
schedule was getting hard for me to keep up. I'll just do them now on an
irregular basis, as people send me ideas
(where they're unclear about something, or when I learn something new).
Because it's not going to be so rigidly scheduled, if anyone would like
the
interactive class (when there is one) at a different day and time, please
let me know. This holds true especially for our European friends; if you
would like the live classes so you can ask questions, but the time was too
late, I'd be open to doing them on some Saturday or Sunday morning my time
so it won't be too late there (if you write with a request just specify if
you like the podcast or the live classes, and when if it's the live ones).
Hope this clarifies things somewhat, and thanks to you guys for being so
appreciative.
Chip

Chip,
I wanted to tell you that I have enjoyed listening to your classes very
much.
I have learned a great deal from you--not only through your classes, but
from your answering questions and the many books that you have sent to me.
Anything that you want to do in the future will be of great interest to
me.
You not only know the technical parts of scripting, but you are a great
teacher.
I really enjoy taking the examples that you have given us and actually
getting them to execute, and then making some changes to them myself.
Every time I see an example like that, I learn something that I couldn't
do
before, and I add it to my library!
Again Thank you very much!!!

Subject: change in scripting classes
Hi all,
I find several things have changed for the scripting classes, so I am
planning to change how they work:
First, almost everyone is listening to the podcasts and not participating
in
the interactive sessions, so I don't plan to have any further interactive
sessions done at a regularly scheduled time. I will do them upon special
request however.
Second, I feel I've covered all of the material which was easy for me to
cover by now, and I'm not sure what to cover next. Anything I can think
of
is likely to take me weeks of preparation, so I no longer am planning on
having weekly podcasts. Again, any special requests are encouraged, and
I'd
be glad to cover or re-cover any topics of interest; however, any other
podcasts for the scripting class will be added as something occurs to me,
and I've had enough time to research it and prepare some examples. I
suspect there are topics which were missed, or not covered well enough
for
a
full understanding, but those interested will need to write me and let me
know what they are.
Any other scripters who care to carry on the podcasts (or live sessions)
are
encouraged to do so. You'll have to contact GW to discuss the inclusion
of
your podcasts on the scripting class page, as I can't really speak for
them.
I've really enjoyed doing this, and I thank everyone who dropped me an
email, or who came to the live sessions (especially including Jeff Bishop
and Doug who each came and did an session).
