Learn FlowStone in five days!

[Embedded]

As an active forum member I get regular requests on the best ways to learn FlowStone, so I thought I’d make a quick post to help newbies get started.

1) Register & download the FREE version and install it on your PC.
2) Make the Tool Box Filters visible – these help beginners find the modules they are looking for ( View – Filter Groups)
3) Go through the in built Tutorial (Help – Tutorial – Open)
4) Open the Tutorial source code files (Help – Tutorial – Show Schematic Files) – there are Tutorials 1 to 5 showing the steps used to build the tutorial.
5) Make the EXE from the Tutorial - New users get a few PAYG credits to test the make EXE function – There is nothing like making your first app. to show the power of FlowStone.
6) Yes - Read the User Guide and Component Reference Guide (Help – User Guide or Component Reference). Information is often concealed in books!
7) Download some of the 100’s of example projects – these are one of the fastest ways to learn FlowStone and have been created to show you how to do a wide variety of things :

8) Learn Ruby the programming language and start using the FlowStone Ruby Module -
http://ruby-doc.org/core-1.9.3/.
This is an amazing programming language embedded inside FlowStone and is incredibly powerful.
9) Post your questions on the forum so that the answers can be shared with other users!
10) Once up to speed and enjoying FlowStone, support DSPRobotics and buy a license :
