This is a series of modules to help you teach yourself how to use REALbasic. They are intended for non computer science users, people who are curious about programming and hobbyist, like myself. I have written this module series to provide new users with some basic information on using REALbasic. By the way, I am not not associated with REAL software.
This module series was actually suggested to me by a reader of my above referenced tutorial, Greg Bachand. This PDF file is not free, it is sold via this web site. If there are any updates to the modules after you buy one, I will be send to you the updated version at no charge. Payment is via PayPal. It is a very small payment, so please be honorable.
The concept is YOU get to choose WHEN to learn and WHAT subject you would like to learn about programming in REALbasic. Learning in smaller steps is a far more effective technique than trying to follow a long project. I have tried to describe in some detail, what subject each module teaches about. The modules come in a PDF format. In addition, each module will come with a few of the projects described in the module.

Overview

Let's learn how to use strings in REALbasic(RB). A string is a fundamental data type of RB. You use strings to place text or characters in your programs. You have three classes in RB that will display strings for you in your window, the StaticText ,EditField and Listbox classes . For this module, we will stay to the previous two.

Please be aware that other classes use the string dat type as well. For instance a BevelButton has a "Caption" property. This is the text that is displayed in this button, and the concepts we will learn about can certainly be applied to this class, and others, as well.

Subsection titles include Examples, Erasing, Concatenating a String,MultiLine Property,Using The ASCII Chart and Not Erasing What You Already Have. An assortment of general RB Hints, exercises and example projects are included.

Cost for this 11 page PDF learning module is $4.00 (U.S.)
