Does anyone know of a good book about the design and analysis of algorithms in revolution? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Neil

I think you could reading something related to Object-oriented approach. Even if RunRev does not "understand" concepts like "class", it implement a lot of commands/messages/functions that could encourage the programmer to use OO methods.

My 2 cents opinion ;-)

You may want the book Programming for Dummies (4th edition) by Wallace Wang, which uses Revoluton as one of the teaching languages. Another great resource is the User guide that ships with Revolution - you can open it straight from the Help menu. An older book 'Software at the Speed of Thought' by Dan Shafer is still available in the runrev.com store as are the conference DVD's.

Good suggestion! That guide, even if does not go too much deep in some topics, is definitively a good guide !!
