I'd suggest combing the archives (see URL at the bottom)
or finding Garon Grainger's "The Dig" (I don't have the
URL handy) which adds more organization than the auto-
archives do.

Yes, but no word on how soon that will arrive. It's
also not clear if it will actually be a "Dummies" book
or not.

Look back through the archives for a discussion on the
smallest possible program to draw a stable screen. If
you start with that code you should be able to draw
just a plain white screen. It'll be good practice.
Or, if you're messing with Nick Bensema's tutorial,
you should be able to modify that. Again, a good
learning experience.

I think a lot of people start with Nick's template, at
least while beginning.
