I have really never played around with VB or VS. Anyone of you fine folks want to recommend a good book for me to read. When Firewing is released, I would certainly hate to be the last cowboy out of the shoot. 8-)

It's a pretty easy language to use. I'm not sure I could recommend a book, but I would recommend you take a look here:

Majenko has done a great job of converting these pages into PDF so you can print it out, if required. If you have any questions on the Firewing language, then please do post - I woukd be happy to help.

Thanks David
I had read and forgotten about Matt's PDF file. That will work great as I can load that into my Kindle. I may also need to pull my head out of another form of PC Basic and the Windows API. ;)

BTW - Thanks Matt for the PDF.

Ok, I've got one. Since we have new data types, how about filling in Appendix C (Types, Modifiers and Constants).

Also, any thoughts about adding data types > 32 bits, like a Long int or Double float?
