I like the name "primer"; the balance of text, demo and exercise depends on the the material.That's up to the author, Dar.What should a tutorial be like?
The best example that comes to my mind is the Apple Event Primer stack from Apple.
I have more questions that Revolutionaries might have opinions about.
1
What is a good window size for a primer? The example Rob provided is pretty small. Should the optimal size be adjusted down if other windows are used?
2
I'm thinking of displaying openSockets in real time. Any opinions on whether this is on the main primer stack or a separate window?
3
I think I need some navigator buttons: beginning, previous, next and back. What's a good source?
4
What's a good way to exhibit source? Some candidates:
A. Let people simply use the Revolution environment to see it. Easiest.
Options: Special Formatting such as bold .
Tiny "source" icons next to control with interesting source.
B. Tiny "see source" icon button next to any control with interesting source
that brings up a window.
Options: Use right click instead but don't show the right-click code
in the window.
Somehow use the Revolution source window.
C. Tiny "copy source" icon button next to any source with interesting source
that puts the source on the clipboard.
D. Show source all the time in small fields.
