Uh oh. Are those still around? I think I promised Jacque a while back that I'd update the standalone builder talk, and then I never did anything about it.Side question - How old are the scripting conferences?

I have always felt it is more beneficial to have to do more of the 'code lifting' when your learning. Using the 'long way round' as you put it gives you a better understanding of all that goes into doing something, and as you point out, you can later use all those nifty things that have been condensed, as by the point you would need it, you would know how to find it.DavidF. wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 4:56 pmI don't think I would mind too much if there were the odd exercise that took me the long way round. In fact sometimes when you're a beginner going the long way round can be useful exercise... And if I learned later about a handy shortcut well that would be great too.
