Revolution is so rich, there might be lots of effective styles.

I like to keep all handlers fast when I can and I try to make them 
short.  Others might emphasize other things.

I have used stack libraries, but now copy script libraries to my main 
stack script.

I hardly use menus, but I know some build them first and make them the 
center of the application.

I hardly use the debugger, geometry manager or animation manager and 
probably suffer because of it.

That is my problem, too.  When working in a group, especially one in 
which experienced people are moving in and out, someone will look over 
your shoulder and say, "Why are you doing that the hard way?"  In my 
case, I'm the only Revolutionary around.

Partly because of that, I hangout at this list.  I try to be frank and 
clear about the silly things I do.  Often, someone will show me a 
better way.  I try to advise where I think I can and often someone will 
respond with a better way.  There could be some assumption I'm making 
that others don't see and they may make an assumption that, of course, 
everybody knows this, so I am probably still doing things the hard way. 
  It is my hope that when it does become obvious that I'm doing 
something silly, some folks will point it out.

Revolution is so rich, I will always be learning.
