A Beginners Guide to Programming with Harbour and HMG
Hello everyone!
As some of you may know, I have an ambition to create a user guide for Harbour & HMG which will not only help those with some familiarity with xBase/Clipper but, I hope, might also be useful to people new to programming! I know that this is a very ambitious idea, but I firmly believe it is possible!
So I am pleased to announce that I have now created a very basic website which now contains an outline of the Table of Contents and the draft versions of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2!
Getting feedback from this community on the value of producing such a guide would be really useful and I would be especially interested to hear from anyone who is struggling to get to grips with Harbour/HMG as this, I hope, will be the target audience! The website can be found at;
(edit on 8 Jan 2016) at http://www.harbour-guide.com/.
Please feel free to have a look at this and let me know your thoughts via this thread! My wife and I are about to go on holiday for two weeks but I will try to upload a couple of the other draft Chapters before we head-off on Saturday 10 October.
Many thanks,
Zimbo
Please note: I am learning HTML5 and CSS3, so this website is very basic! The style, layout and usability of the website is not my main priority - writing this guide is.

Hello everyone.
I'm now back from a well earned holiday and have just published chapter 3 of my guide. Work is on-going with other chapters and I am hoping to publish a new chapter each week until the middle of December...

Evening All!
Chapter 5 has just been uploaded and the site has also been updated a little as I also work on my HTML and CSS skills...
(edit on 8 Jan 2016) at http://www.harbour-guide.com/.
What I really now need is a real beginner to programming to give me some feedback on how this guide is shaping up and to suggest any parts that aren't clear or someone who has Clipper / dbase skills but hasn't yet got started with Harbour and HMG. That's probably going to be a bit of a challenge but if you know anyone...
I also want to thank those of you who added a link to my site on your own sites. I really appreciate that and I am intending to add a 'Links' page myself to return the favour.
Hope you are all well and happily coding like geniuses!
