What tutorials do you need?
What can you provide?
I think Icyos has a tutorial channel?
Who else has up to date tutorials?

Working on the school motto . . .
"time longer than rope" or possibly
"Lef mi Nuh" (which I believe is a sort of Latin)
“It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.” — Lewis Carroll, mathematician and writer (1832-1898)

I don't think anyone is still using PuppyBasic?
. . . and my efforts at learning XUL programming only went
as far as . . . well who knows, still available in Seamonkey . . .

Anyone enrolled yet?

Woof is advanced stuff . . . this should get you going

decided on the school Motto

We are the Dorg
Resistance is Futile

At Puppy School we expect everyone to teach as soon as possible - after all how else will we be able to pay our students . . .
(maybe I don't really get the principle of school . . . m m m . . . I hear in backward times they forget to pay the youth for learning . . . ?)

Thank you, it looks like I have a lot of reading to do. I might ask Icyos like you said.

Your photo is a little scary.

Thanks Amgine - have added them to the introductory curriculum
You are already practically staff . . . Smile

I just did a video on adding devx (for compiling)
http://youtu.be/LDe54Z8hlQc
I award myself D+ for effort
. . . I should have just said
Go to Slickpet / SFS tab and click on the GNU compiler button
. . . but that is too simple . . .
. . . educators are being made redundant . . . Rolling Eyes

I think we need a new Principle . . .
Perhaps known as Principle KISS?

OK gonna go through the IcyOS tutorials for some tips . . .
