Recommend a book for newb

[not_l33t]

I would really like a book that has big examples and tell you every single thing rather then giving me troubles like the book I have from school. My teacher doesn't teach @$$ and he has just handed this book to us which doesn't solve anything. In the Question at each chapter it expects you to know stuff from 5 chapters ahead.

So please help me out here.

sorry, but plans for writing a book didn't work out well I might give it another shot this summer, depending on what I'll end up doing

meanwhile the best you could do is to read the [turing tutorials]. If you want to make something specific, we could probably recommed specific tutorials you would need to understand.

The best way to learn is to just keep testing what you can do, and use the turing help files, as they are quite useful. And ask lots of questions. No book can teach you everything that you want to learn.

The best way to learn how to program is to program.

code:

View.Set ("graphics:100;100,title:X!,nobuttonbar") var x : int x := 5 for i:1..4   x+= 1 end for put "x" put x

there's a program that you can have some fun with. Move on from there. And you can call it your own, and you don't even have to give me any credit
