50g

Who would be interested in helping out with writing some tutorials for
the 50g, if we get a few people together it should be easy to make a
some good tutorials in no time at all. Just a thought, Mick C

Wouldn't it be easier to collect links from the web and sort it in a
useful way? I think there are already a lot of great tutorials about
the 49g+/50g e.g. at hpcalc.org. The problem isn't the tutorial itself,
but to find the information or how-to as quick as possible, isn't it?

Best regards, Thorsten

Hmm, well I was thinking about getting new people up to speed with the
50g, and hopefully later versions as quickly as possible, if we had
ten people helping out it would be no trouble at all 2 do this in a
few hours. Also *we* would learn alot from each other, eg, shortcuts,
easyier ways to do things. We could start with a selection of links,
but (with help) I would like to take it a little further.
Cheers, Mick C, the boss lol

Have you considered making it a Wiki so that it's easy for people to
update content?

I got mine yesterday evening. I'm already used to RPN, because I've
been using a rpn calc on windows for years.

Now I have to get acquainted with RPL he-he!

What kind of tutorial do you foresee?

When I had a Psion Series 5 I used to write small articles for
www.opl32.com which now seems to be defunct.

I think I will write small articles while discovering and learning the
50G usage. eg: how to create a function, how to draw a function curve,
etc.
Ponctual, directly usable howtos...

bye for now.

already be used on the hp48 newsgroup...)

I am still learning stuff about the 50g, well it does have 2500
functions after all, have u learned about the help function yet? Just
go into the catalog (CAT), select the fuction and press the help soft
menu key.
Also feel more than free to ask in here any questions that you might
have, not only will it give you a quick answer but it will also give
you a diffent point of view.
Another thing you might want to look at is www.hpcalc.org.com, you can
get extra functionality without even having to touch rpl, also it can
provide a good source to learn from 2.
Also if you have MSN or YAHOO my nicks are michaelpc@... and
mick8882003, then u can ask me questions online.
Ok well I hope you get alot out of the 50g, Cheers and bye for now.

Oh yes and if you are keen on writing some tutorials I am keen to help
out, our wiki site is execlent for that, as u can edit it then someone
else can add to it and share the info back to everyone else. Works well.

This may be an article subject : GettingFunctionHelp, in CategoryQuickTips.

Since I'm only discovering rpl, I will produce for now only articles for
beginners .


Bye for now,

and Have a Great Christmas.

Can I have a show of hands who thinks what would be a good first
tutorial for the 50G, What I have in mind is to give a total
introduction to either a specific task or process and provide a
comprehensive turorial for such. I have two motives for this, one is
to enhance this group and two is to provide new users with helpful
tips to get started.
Cheers Mick C

I see several categories :

Basic usage : keyboard usage and shortcuts, editing, archive command,
lib linking
Provided tools : graphing, equations, 1-9 keys orange and white commands
Programming : simple definitions, loops, branches, libs, IDEs
Killer apps : ted, schip ;-), etc
Communications : commands, tools,
Linux users : how to, tools, IDEs

As a new user (I received mine two weeks ago), I'm discovering little by
little, and basic tutorials in each of these categories would be welcome

Cheers,

jbu

Ok I have made a start on the tutorials page, just a collection of
links so far, but will add to it slowly. It is on the tutorials page
of the wiki site, please if you have a good tutorial you know of add
it to the wiki site, just go there and click edit page, the password
is 50g.
Cheers for now
