| Schweeeeet! 
(It's things like this - having a starting point, and a logical structure - being unavailable that has been one of the main hurdles to me learning to code in C; bring on the IDE and I'll be singing  ) Last edited by Chunder on 07-Apr-2005 at 01:44 PM.

| Thats pretty cool. Presumably "AVD" will eventually be some sort of RAD toolkit that creates applications using the same framework, but through an interface rather than a text editor?

That is the general goal, yes.
Although not limited to this one template of course.

| Yep! I love this kind of contribs 
I also love the code2html output.
Now we should just wait for that cute DaveyD + Orgin's site layout to go online

| All- realize the AVD Template is NOT the IDE and tools Jamie's talking about; those will surely remain pay products. The 'AVD template' is basically some C code saving you a bit of grief, along with some code stubs, a directory tree laid out in a sane fashion with a generic Makefile, allowing you to start coding without knowing details of Make, and some header files with version and other constants defined.
It's a good starting point for anyone that hasn't done large projects before and is used to having all your headers, source, docs, and output files in a single directory 
Grab it, learn it, use it....especially for anything you might release as source, people going through your code later might thank you
Thanks Jamie!  Last edited by wegster on 07-Apr-2005 at 11:17 AM.

| Good work! That should hopefully encourage new developers.
I'll take a look, although it seems your website is currently unavailable...

| Nice, a canned build environment plus a bunch of useful constants and utility functions (so THAT's how one reads the scrollwheel!). Now there really isn't a whole lot stopping anyone from picking up a "C for dummies" book from their library and getting started with amiga coding.
This alone should play a noticeable role in getting the platform back on its feet. Thank you, BitByBit! |

Oi! Are you calling me "anyone"??
(That's my plan... well, that and get an AmigaOne and OS4, of course... )

| Very cool idea! Should help for us "newbies" in becoming familiar with coding for OS4. |

| Very, very nice! Thanks for this. The "newbie with "C for dummies" in his hand" certainly applies to me. This will be very helpful.

| This is great news for people with a limited knowledge of C - thanks! Certainly gives me one more reason to look into coding for our platform.

| BTW This may be useful too (some c&p may be required...) If I can't mix my code with Jamie's one at least I hope I learn enough from it
