Are you speaking my language?

[thevenable]

i have read the tutorials for dslua but since i am coming from a visual basic background i would really like to know where i can find a decent tutorial that will allow me to learn the entire language not just the specified functions.  also if anyone could direct me to a instruction manual for devkitpro that would be greatly appreciated.

No all-in ones exist.

Long answer: I, too, came from a VB6 background, with small amounts of C++ and HTML. I had to learn from the included examples, which DID NOT show all of the functions in action, which left some guesswork.

The Documentation and Tutorials exist to make this easier. The DS is not like VB6 -- you cannot drag-and-drop like before. Instead, yer stuck with ASCII-based coding. So, unlike VB6, there cannot be an all in one -- you cant just combine them all into a single tutorial, because there is more you NEED to run a program, let alone anything NEAR VB6.

I could teach you myself in my spair time (aka most of saturday and sunday, and sometimes weekdays), if you want something more hands-on and explanitory. I have MSN, AIM, YIM, Instan-t, and my own webchat program, so I could teach you anytime you need my help.

As for devkitpro... DSLua is a better place to start. devkitpro is EXTREMELY hard if you dont have any experience of C or C++.

My tutorials are made to teach people stuff that aren't in normal lua. I'm pretty sure everything you need to know about lua is right here: http://www.lua.org/pil (You can still use the table, io, string, debug, and math libraries in DSLua.)
