Rev difficulty

[Vjstbenz at aol.com]

ye.....i will attend the TEACHING conference tomorrow...

if they cant teach me the principles of REV...then i am not interested...OBJECTS HANDLERS...Transcript...GLOBAL variables...HANDLER....cards and their relationship to stack scripts.....WHY a stack has a SCRIPT?....outside of cards...

if they can't use an EXAMPLE program...that involves these CORE principles inside it...(maybe calling a function too)

if they can't do this example and explain the fundamentals of the language and STRUCTURE of making OBJECTS scripts....and LINKING objects scripts ...to get RESULTS...

then i am not interested in REV....

i have looked at all the VIDEO tutorials....watched them....read all the INTRO documents....and i am still NO WISER...about the above...


i just find myself STUMBLING through....deceding on somehting i fancy trying...then stumbling for DATA..and stuff...

it also seams that this is TRUE of all the REV users out there....this is why these LISTS are literally JAMMED with traffic...asking questions....all the time...

that can't be a SIMPLE tool....to my mind...

HYPERCARD was kind of simple...you know...

but the VARiables video TUTORIAL...IS THE ONLY  reasonable tutorial ANYHWERE on the rev SITE...

what you end up doing is looking at other peoples CODE...and picking it apart and trying to understand what the hell is going on....

WITHOUT UNDErSTANDING THE BASIC PRINCIPLES of the WHOLE SYSTEM.......which are NOT explained properly...anywhere on the REV site....

maybe you have the answers...CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE ABOVE?

it is basically OBJECT ORIENTATED programming...so a FULL tutorial on object orientated progamming is REQUIRED as standard....

the REV site does not provide this tutorial...as far as i can see...

this, to my mind ....is a bad sign...
