Brilliant, thanks so much and great work making it in more than one language, users like yourself make such a difference. Big thanks to you and all the users who share their knowledge!!

sugokuGENKI 23/02/2011 - 11:38

sorry for delaying the english version...
things got a bit busy

from proofreading this guide, one can see there's a pretty significant step made from knowing nothing to knowing a lot across many different topics. It's really ambitious and hits the note correctly in a lot of areas. It takes a range of 'unknowing' starting points for users and walks them through lots of important things that they need to know.

The guide picks up on many points that I wouldn't have remembered to document, but are obviously indispensable to know during the learning process.

And i (personally) think it'd be fantastic if more people got involved with helping to develop content for this guide (perhaps for a second, third edition). This way we could expand on the amount of 'starting points' that people could come from, and help refine the guide.

What I specifically suggest is that those people who are teaching VVVV, try to use this guide as a reference for their course, and relay back feedback from students to improve the guide into the future.

Great comment Elliot!
I support every of your words. Please join us for future editions!

But either I would like to ask today's vvvv users to try the guide with their girlfriends/boyfriends or with their little brothers and sisters. And the best, if we try it with artistic persons, who was not involved in computer arts before.
And please give us most critic feedback you can. It's very pleased to read kind words, but they do not help to move forward.

Finally, I would like to ask vvvv group to join us for future editions.

Thank you very much

Great work! This makes it a lot easier to introduce vvvv to a broader audiance :) I only found one misspelled English word on the bottom of page 29 "handle all the locical states" which should be "handle all logical states".
