GfK - you should have asked me about my credentials instead of assuming.
It's funny. The entire reason for this thread is that I was looking over my nicely printed Dark Basic Pro manual and reference book that CAME WITH THE PRODUCT.
It's excellent - two fantastic resources for a somewhat unreliable language (as far as I am concerned).
I love coding in Blitz - it's fast, efficient and open-ended - and not that hard (as compared to c++ or something like that). However, my purchased version came with nothing more than the download itself (the language, ide and online/offline manual). Here is the good old US of A, Blitz and the other UK products are not available here through normal retail outlets.
That's why I thought it would be a nice idea to have either a book or manual resource in print.
Now knowing this info - that I am a coder, totally familiar with most of the Blitz language and all the other things I mentioned, would anyone in this community benefit from such a book?
