HiFirst of all, this is my first email to this email group, so, I want to make
sure that asking 'newb' questions is okay, and that this would be the place to
email those 'newb' questions.I'll tell a little bit about some things that
might be helpful in answering my questions. I started Python when I was in 7th
or 8th grade, and loved it. I started working through one of the O'Reilly's
Python books. Now, I am taking a Java class, and loving it too ( have a 103%).
So when I got PD, I thought I would just have to learn how to apply these
things I've learned in Python and Java to PD. I went through the
documentation, and just got confused. Next, I tried to find some basic
tutorials on the web with no avail. Finally, I looked at the examples that
came with the installation. These were by far the best introduction to PD, and
I understood them... Until I got to the flow of control ones. It's the one
where the counter counts up to ten, then stops, with another that is a counter
that goes up by one, and you clear it by pressing the -1 button. Remember, I
program, so if it could be explained as if I were programming, that would
probably help me. I don't understand what the term 'bang' refers to in these
examples, along with why certain 'inlets' connect to certain 'outlets', or the
flow of control in the programs, or where the 'count' variable is and how to
manipulate it. I feel that once I understand these things, I'll be able to
have loads of fun with PD. So, Please help, and:Thank you.
