Library Tutorial
Hello

I'm preparing the release of my libraries and LFS.Live step by step now and I'm just about to release the library for InSim written in C# with .NET 1.1. I was finishing the documentation and now proceeding with writing some tutorial.

I'd like to hear your opinions about the tutorial. Is it clear enough? Does it help? What about how it is built up? I don't expect you to "work" through the tutorials and try to build up a project yourself, though it is possible. If you do so though, did it work for you? Any suggestions?

For this I've put up the library doc, the tutorial and sample/tutorial projects, along with compiled versions of the libraries.

http://lfslive.sourceforge.net/Documentation.chm (Compiled HTML Help File for Windows)
http://lfslive.sourceforge.net/tutorial.chm (Compiled HTML Help File for Windows)
http://lfslive.sourceforge.net/tut/ (Tutorial as HTML pages)
http://lfslive.sourceforge.net/TutorialProjects.zip

A personal note along... I know that sdether developes a .NET library for InSim as well. It also has the same name (InSimLib). But since I proceeded so much already with my own library before he announced it, I just could not rename it anymore in every little piece of code and place. I'd just had it renamed otherwise (something like InSimAss(embly), but that 'ass' would sound so confusing ).
I just thought I should add, that this is not the final version of the tutorial, just the beginning.. wanted to wait for a few opinions and tips, maybe there's some specials for creating tutorials. Haven't really searched for some syntax highlighting script or anything. For the next few days I'll spend time on other stuff while note down some ideas for creating additional tutorial projects.

Currently I have no concrete ideas though
I've not had a chance to read through it yet Messiah. As soon as I've got through todays work, and I've got a chance before I get home I'll have a shufti / read through and see what I think If not, it'll probably be saturday night / sunday morning I get a chance
I spent some time searching the net for some utility to syntax-highlight sourcecode in HTML and found some neat .NET assembly at http://www.manoli.net/csharpformat/ and put it into a small GUI.

I've uploaded a new version of the tutorial at http://lfslive.sourceforge.net/tut/ so source codes should be more readable now

I've also thought about putting the utility online and here it is, another piece of free software, cSharpToHtml 1.0 binaries and source code. It needs the .NET Framework 1.1 in order to run. Assembly sourcecode can be found at manoli.net, a compiled version of it is shipped with this utility, compiled and unaltered.
