But for the near term, while printed books have many advantages, it seems
more worthwhile focusing on electronic learning materials. In addition to
being more enviro-friendly than a dead-trees version that lives only a few
months, along with that comes a much lower production and distribution cost,
and the work can be delivered piecemeal rather than needing everything done
at once. Fortunately the production of such things is something Rev is
particularly good at.

I m with you, but pls dont take my word *book* to precise...
The Book i mean is not only a paper-book. It should be too an app, pdf, cd, e-documents etc...

To encourage this sort of thing I've added a "Tutorials" section to the
RevNet Stacks listing. I've begun work on a simple shell project that can
be used for tutorials, and will be a tutorial itself -- on how to make
tutorials. :)
Do you mean this?

The links (of the thumbnails) in the left frame of the 4(!) frames on this page do not work; (On click nothing happens). Maybe I dont understand your page or I m doing anything wrong..?

But we needn't wait for that: if any of the readers of this list have
insights to share with newcomers, please consider making a tutorial stack or
a Web page to share that knowledge. If you're a consultant, I can tell you
that, judging from my hits logs, there are definite benefits to having
Rev-related materials on your site -- seems RunRev's marketing is raising
interest in Rev rather well, as I see a month-to-month increase in hits from
search engines for Rev-related searches.
So many traditional scripters here, even the Guys from rev, imho do not really see the total potential of a platform independent tool like rev/MC, when they are looking only at potential new *scripters*.

Let me give you one example why I think this: In the biggest town of the world - Mexico city, the administration has thrown out Windows, because it is to expensive now, and have changed to Linux. They will need a lot of new tools, apps of any kind in the next years. But they are interested in developers coming from their local population, because thats the cheapest way to give them work and get anything back from them later on. So there is a potential of some hundred thousands future developers, if... if(!) the curve of learning and understanding "the/a" developer tool is not for a small target market like well prepared scripters/programmers ...
For you (and a lot of gurus here) scripting this xtalk is an easy thing, because you know it and you dominate it. But for the rest of us, which are not so prepared in scripting its fairly difficult. Think about that: how many people could work well with DOS..? A small group of persons only. The breakthrough was the more (for the rest of us)-understandable (brainfriendly) UI "Windows", (yes I know, it was the Mac but thats another story) which has *combined* symbols with text...
The same you have seen in Page Layout, Webdesign, Multimedia Authoring and you will see in programming/scripting in the future. When we will see a tool with a real brainfriendly UI everybody can be a developer. And we need much more to get more easier solutions. Rev with the MC engine is a first and big step, still lacks this kind of UI but has the potential to more...
