Ditto.
Andreas has already gone to great lengths to provide example programs that are well-commented and the HTML guide and index pages are a big-time saver.
Before anyone dives in and expects to create the next 'killer-game' with little-to-no experience behind them really needs to step back and educate themselves from the beginning... starting at Chapter 1 before thinking how to play music, how to show a graphic, what do with an XML parser *rollseyes* etc..
People can spend hours and hours, days and months learning to make the most of even one programming language.
Programming is like learning to speak a foreign language and is certainly not for everyone.
Start at the very beginning, learning the concepts of variables, arrays and functions and move on from there. Create some simple programs for example:
* Variables and Operators: Ask the user to enter a two numbers, ask them for an operator ( +, -, / and *). Eval()uate the expression and display the result.
* Arrays: Create a price list of items, Oranges 10p, Bananas 25p, Apples 50... etc etc
Keep prompting the user using
ListRequest() to select fruit from the store (your array) and how many they want of this fruit, when the user leaves the store (exits a Repeat..Until loop) calculate the total combined of all items. You could even go further and display the contents of their shopping basket, item totals and grand total. Oh and add Tax to the total, lets say 20%.
* Functions: Perhaps optimise your array program above into a set of functions accepting parameters and see far down you can reduce your source code.
After you've done the above procedural loops you could expand their functionality by learning a little how event handling works and Switch...case, i.e. the fruit shop one you could create buttons for 'Adding more fruit to basket' and a button to 'End shopping'.
I know that sounds lame and boring, but most programmers would have started their learning by doing stuff like that before moving on to more 'interesting stuff'.
You need to learn to walk before you can learn to run.
