Idea for the forums
-
I was just thinking about how I'm in the middle of learning the scene module and how it is (for me) a slow process. What I need is a good tutorial. Yes, the one included with Pythonista is extensive and covers a lot. However, it is often nice to read something a different way (often with more informal language, common speech, etc). This lead me to believe a forum just for tutorials might be good (namely for us beginners).
I understand if this is a bit redundant (we have a forum for questions), but I think that a tutorial section would be extremely useful.
So, what are your thoughts on this?

+1, I think it's a good idea.
On a slightly related note: Pythonista community seems to be less vibrant then I would like to it to be. I don't know why. Looking at Codea's forum that has dozens of posts daily I'm envious...
-
Yes, I envy Codea's size too. But size comes from time (and good App Store reviews).
And thanks for likening my idea :)

I think its a great idea i would love to help out
-
Concerning Codea's forums, codea has been around a lot longer.
If we want Pythonista's forums to compete, the solution is simple. Everyone needs to contribute more!!! I have been trying to contribute though I haven't done much programming this last week.
As for the tutorial section, I would like that as well. I would be willing to write some basic tutorials to help people get started.
-
My biggest problems are time and comimitment. School takes up the majority of my time and its hard for me to work without a goal which i currently dont have. I believe others have a similar problem
-
I try to get on myself everyday, but it ends up being only four or five times a week...
As far as coding goes, I'm still learning a lot. Thats what made me think of having a tutorial section (largely due to the lack of tutorials on the special modules (scene, canvas, etc.)).

Great idea! Personally I learn far more from "explained code" than from trying to wade thru the (still good) documentation
-
Haha I just learn from copying what everyone else does >.>
But yeah it ALWAYS helps to have someone explaining what the program is doing, especially for some of the more obscure stuff. I've noticed as I get better at programming the stuff I write becomes more confusing lol.
@omz - Tutorial section! Do ittttt
-
Not sure why I never tried @omz and see what would happen.
As far as learning by example goes, it helps to have written explanations (which is why I love pound sings).
