Do you mean something like page 163 of the RevolutionUserGuide.pdf
5.10 Tips for Writing Good Code -- that chapter is completely changed and
improved form the printed version of the manuel. It's very nice and thanks
for pointing it out to me. I hadn't realized so many changes were made in

Short example stacks that
William,
I think what you'll find with Rev is a trade-off. Although there are
some demo stacks floating around and a few good sites, the shear
volume is much less than more widely adopted languages. It's more than
there used to be (and growing), but you'll have a lot less luck
hitting
Thanks - that's very sound advice. I'm just hoping for something in the
future ;) and I find the collection of stacks on the RunRev site a very
great potential and wish it would build quicker and with more features in
the repository.
So while I agree it would be great if there were

Au contaire, there are dozens of libs floating around the Revsphere,
some commercial ones like Animation Engine and a good many freeware ones

Nothing lacking in Valentina's API it is incredible. It is the lack of
completed solutions for common tasks. So it's not libraries but more example
code like you find for PHP or other more popular environments. The example
code saves you from re-writing stuff someone much more skilled has already

William,
I was one of those that kept loosing my code. The guideline I use these days is:
* Utility code that is related to the application goes into the stack script
* Generic code that can be used by any application goes into a library stack
* Cards and controls only got event code, like

I can't wait to read your piece on structure. I imagine it will take a while
to write as you will need a simple explanation on how to make a library.

Man, if you think that the flexibility to put code all over the
message hierarchy causes problems (which, by the way, can be overcome
by using the Find function - at least it's never been any more of a
problem for me than that), you ought to try to read the monolithic

I use BBedit and love it. The other complaint I get is that RunRev doesn't
