I've been working for the past week on a manual for Gtkdialog
scripting that would be suitable for beginners.

It's based on Mendel Cooper's Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide.

It launches from 'Documents' in the start menu. The user will see an
index. Most of the links should work Laughing

The user should have a background in bash scripting basics.
But it's not that hard..

new version 1.3

-added a couple of new pages ( tips page and input directive)
-rewrote the text to make explanations clearer
-put in credits to Sigmond and Thunor

Note: Anyone who wants to contribute an example should
send it to me for inclusion. I like short scripts that
demonstrate a principle.

Don`t click on the download button, you won`t get anything but an error.

Just right-click and "Save Link As".

Thanks Don570...

Have you thought about putting this in version control somewhere?
Maybe in markdown format or something?

Are you writing it directly in html?

No. I am taking Mendel Cooper's work and modifying it
with Composer. That's why it looks like Advanced bash manual by
Mendel Cooper.

I don't have the training to do html pages.
