Dependence on Programming Experts

[Andre Garzia]

Greg,

If you click on "Documentation"

And select "Getting Started"

you'll see: Quick Start, Sample Projects, Using Objects, Sample  
Scripts, Using Scripts and In Depth.

All those links include photos, text and video aimed to teach you.

Besides that, you have Dan Shafer Book which is a very good resource  
for learning.

You also have all the internet sites made by us to help xTalkers out  
there.

Revolution Media comes with templates that you can inspect.

RevOnline has dozens of users submiting projects easy to follow that  
will help anyone.

The Rev Forum is full of topics and people do answer.

This list is been in use since forever and people here help each  
other. No one is an island.

You have books, documentation, shots, sites, fora, lists, even chat  
in case you wanted to talk with us!!!!

What more do you want????

Revolution is not Multimedia Authoring Software like Flash!  
Revolution is a computer language that can also be used for  
multimedia, and for a lot of other things too. I for one, use it for  
networking apps. Others here use it for Information management and  
some for multimedia... Revolution is a complete computer language.

You said that Rev should enable "fairly non-technical user to do  
amazing things", I am pretty young here but I've seen many come as  
newbies and in very short time produce amazing stacks. Everytime I  
see that, it makes me smile...

I think you're bluring the line between very complex softwares like  
Flash and Rev.
