Yes and No. I don't know about laziness, but I really don't want to go back to PASCAL, FORTRAN and so forth.
I don't think playing with other people's samples is a "sin", or a "cheap and nasty route" to learning how to program in a new progging environment: to me it seems rather like trying out one's mother-tongue with parents, teacher and peers: you would have a really tough time trying to learn a language from a novel in that language without any external help: and we all know how 'wooden' speakers of a language sound who have tried to learn it from a teach-yourself book. Samples of fairly unsophisticated stuff are available here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/richmondsrrr/?yguid=254544547 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RRgraphix/?yguid=45881848 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RRRThesis/?yguid=254544547 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rrtexttricks/?yguid=254544547 You will have to JOIN these Yahoo Groups to download the samples. I do hope at least some of them are some help. I should point out that I have also learnt quite a bit from "messing around" with other programmer's samples. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
