How to learn TurboVision

Q. 101 What's the best way to learn TurboVision?

• Read the manual. The manual of TP7/BP7 is really good. All mastertricks not covered in the TP6 manual are now written clearly. So far for the TurboVision masters.
• Read other books. I've myself not needed any other source of information so I can't recommend anyone. If anyone can, please submit.
• Take a look at the sample code: both the examples from the manual (so I started when I got TurboVision in the beginnings of 1991) and from the other TurboVision examples from Borland. They often contain useful ideas, show things of TurboVision not mentioned (or not clearly mentioned) in the manual and give you some feeling for 'good' TurboVision programming. Don't hesitate to modify the examples: so you get the feeling! You can find the examples in three directories /bp/examples/dos/tv
• And next: write your first application as try out. Be warned: I'm still working on that first sample application :-) (Currently > 50,000 lines of code)
