I’ve been asked why I am posting a tutorial for an almost thirty year old language. The simple explanation is: I want to.
The more drawn-out explanation is I have been asked for this for several years, by several people to assist them in building applications, debug functions, train them, etc. I’ve come to the point that I would like to share with these young (and not-so-young!) learners the knowledge that I have gained over the breadth of my career.
As with all great journeys, there is an end, somewhere. As long as there is a demand for this tutorial, I will keep on writing. So, hang with me. If I miss anything, or make an obvious error, let me know. We’ll get through this together.
