Preliminary points
The aim of the tutorial is to help you discover WINDEV, become familiar with the editors and teach
you the WINDEV concepts.
This manual does not cover all the features of WINDEV.
You should plan on spending a few hours to follow this course and to learn WINDEV: you'll find it
was well worth it!
If you try to develop an application before following this tutorial, you will lose time, and a lot more
than the few hours you'll spend on this tutorial.
This tutorial was designed to be followed in two different ways:
- either you follow all the detailed exercises in each lesson (recommended method).
- or, if you are in a hurry and already experienced, you can read it without doing the exercises (all the exercises have screen shots). However, in order to quickly assimilate the main concepts, we recommend that you follow the tutorial step by step. WINDEV evolves all the time, so the screen shots found in this course may differ from the windows displayed in your product.
Overview of the tutorial
The tutorial was designed to progressively teach you how to use WINDEV. By following this course:
- you will discover the main concepts explained informally ; these are the concepts you must learn and understand.
- you will also be asked to perform operations that illustrate the concepts just explained. As you progress through the tutorial, if you want to take a closer look at a concept or if you want to get more details about a programming function, see the online help (directly accessible from the editors or from the guide).
The size of a lesson is not necessarily proportional to its relevance...
