I'll definitely be looking into it. My tutorials are for the neophytes. Absolutely basic from scratch. I want to do with php/mysql with browsers, what &lt;A HREF="http://www.atariarchives.org/adventure/" REL="nofollow"&gt;this book&lt;/A&gt; did with the basic language. So it wasn't that I was unable to find a site that does this, but finding a site that is extremely basic, effective, and shows step by step from beginning to end. Many sites go so far into the programming aspect that they seem almost to be reinventing the wheel.&lt;BR/&gt;Take a look at &lt;A HREF="http://www.vbforums.com/archive/index.php/t-349990.html" REL="nofollow"&gt; this page&lt;/A&gt; (for example) on checking to see if a file exist in VB. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;B&gt;sciguyryan &lt;/B&gt; Has the right idea. Using what is available.  but if you look at what &lt;B&gt;dee-u&lt;/B&gt; wrote using an API function - its like a bunch of code thats not needed to perform a simple task. where the simple line if dir(&amp;quot;somefilename&amp;quot;)&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&amp;quot; then&lt;I&gt;&lt;/I&gt; is good enough for just about 90% of what the user is looking for. Which brings me back to my tutorial. I believe simplicity is the best way to teach people. After which, they can branch off at their own speed and skill level. remember K.I.S.S.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Take care&lt;BR/&gt;Happy and Safe Holidays to you and your family.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/50545180384049451/3276048490559281795/comments/default/3162952377452050952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/50545180384049451/3276048490559281795/comments/default/3162952377452050952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pbbgtutorials.blogspot.com/2008/12/introduction.html?showComment=1230166200000#c3162952377452050952' title=''/><author><name>Richard</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00832633998865573046</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08961231628813108444'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://pbbgtutorials.blogspot.com/2008/12/introduction.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50545180384049451.post-3276048490559281795' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/50545180384049451/posts/default/3276048490559281795' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-50545180384049451.post-7426867872810700136</id><published>2008-12-23T12:35:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-23T12:35:00.000-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm not sure exactly what you were looking for tha...</title><content type='html'>I'm not sure exactly what you were looking for that you couldn't find.
