GladeVCP Info

Big John,
I'm starting to work through your tutorial on Glade. Part 1a was good but I'm stuck in Part 1b.
Neither I nor Terminal can work out what these are:

./tutorial-1.py

python tutorial-1.py

#!/usr/bin/env python

The saved file from 1a is tutorial-1.glade

I did have a look at the GladeVCP doc but that says it needs 'Git Checkout' to function.

Terminal cannot perform ./tutorial-1.py or python tutorial-1.py because the file doesn't exist (yet)

Set the path to Python - OK, I found a tutorial on how to set Path. Not tried it yet.

A fair knowledge of Unix/Linux by the user seems to be assumed in these Python tutorials.
For example #!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)

IMO an introductory tutorial should avoid exotic stuff such as Shebang and should show all the entered keystrokes which would then avoid missing things that are obvious to experienced users but not to beginners such as myself.

Most Linux tutorials are very frustrating because they cherry pick the keystrokes to present and leave the user to sort out the rest. Showing all keystrokes would solve most of the frustrations.

I need to set my Mobile Broadband up on my Ubuntu box so I can paste errors. MBB is another can of worms.

n an effort not to clog up this forum with unrelated posts can we move this over to the tutorial feedback forum?

Fine by me.

Where is the tutorial feedback forum?

John, the feedback forum seems to be broken?

I have just finally been going through your tut's and have some feedback.
