The startersguide that I saw before had some specific applications such as PWM which a reader may not be interested in. It is the same. Hopefully our tutorial book will have a great range of tutorials, and everyone will be interested in at least one topic. All new users will be interested in getting started. It is not about "tutorials the writers are interested in". I am actually not interested in servo's, but I see many people who are, so I created a lib and I will later create a tutorial. I believe servo's are a hot topic. It is fun to do things like this for others. > On the other hand I found the first Tutorial by Joep and Toon very > educational.

The tutorial book is "step-by-step" in the beginning (getting started - > blink a led -> serial port), as it should be, these are topics all new users should be interested in. If your step-by-step method is better then ours, we can replace it or create a new chapter. One of my idea's for the tutorial book was to create tasks/homework for the user so they may get experience, but I have not had time to implement this. I am simply suggesting one completed book with "starter guide" + "Tutorials". > I'm sorry if I offended anyone. That is not my intent. You do not offend anyone with your words, honesty is needed and appreciated. I may offend others at times although I do not mean to, I just state my thoughts. If we are all honest with eachother, we will be happier about the final product. Matt. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jallib" group.
