Are there no help sites?

I presume you've gone through the online tutorials. If not, do so. 
They're pretty darned good. You can  particularly learn a lot by going 
through and then analyzing the Independent Study tutorial.

There are quite a few resources available. Here are a few.

Alan  Golub's ezine, RevJournal (http://www.revjournal.com) has an 
ongoing RevSchool series of tutorials that are quite good.

Chipp Walters has a great meta-resource listing other resources at 
http://www.fourthworld.com/rev/

I'm building a Revolution Pros site that will be unveiled very soon 
now, along with the first of three volumes of my eBook, "Programming at 
the Speed of Thought." The books will tie to the Web site where 
discussions, examples, shortened tutorials on specific topics extracted 
from the book and other goodies will be available. Send private email 
to dan at shafermedia.com with the subject line "Let Me Know When" and 
I'll...er...let you know when.

There's not a huge amount of stuff out yet that's Rev-specific but 
there is a gathering of momentum. Meanwhile, a lot of what exists for 
HyperCard and HyperTalk, including the old books by me, Danny Goodman, 
Jeanne DeVoto (who runs docs for Rev) and others have been suggested by 
some people to be useful in the early going.

Mostly, just ask questions here!
