 Guidance on learning ASPRunner.NET

ASPRunner.NET General questions
FrankR_ENTA author

Some contractors that I work with are embarking on learning ASPRunner.NET. They come from a Cake PHP background. Obviously, they need to learn C#. But then, I offered them some guidance on learning ASPRunner.NET. I am posting a portion of that below. Could any of you who have possibly guided someone in the past on this offer up anything I'm missing? Are there any other tutorials out there that I am not aware of? Thanks.



I have used the tool for several years, going back to my previous job. Been using it for about 10 years now.
Maybe this will help with the learning:

  • Go here and watch these videos. They may be out of date as far as the screens matching precisely to what is in the video.

    [That's because this product is constantly evolving - in a great way.]

    But, the videos will easily and quickly show you the steps for an app build.

  • Go to YouTube and search for ASPRunner.NET videos by: Jerry Adach, Tamer Hagid, and, even though it is PHP based, PHP Runner Tips and Tricks. The techniques illustrated there are applicable to ASPRunner.NET.
  • Then, read the Help. There is a great deal there. Maybe I can help you a bit by telling you what to be aware of and skim, v.s. what you should read carefully and completely:

Don't let the PHP fool you. These tutorials are for ASPRunner.Net as well.

Yes. You are referring to PHP Runner Tips and Tricks. Those are very nicely done videos.

Frank,
I like your approach to reading the manual. Never thought about it from this perspective.
