I am enjoying the video tutorials that Govinda has produced. The MVCframework makes perfect sense to me, and I plan to use it. He does a verygood job of not only explaining the framework, but also explaining verybasic WebDNA and general programming principles in his tutorials. The thing that excites me most is that he has created a mock website whereyou can look under the hood at everything. Whenever I read the existingreference materials and docs to try and learn how to code with WebDNA, Ihave a tough time applying the theory to my real-life application that I'mcreating. I have very much enjoyed both Christophe's basic tutorials on webdna.us andBrian Burton's tutorials. All of these gave me a good understanding of somebasic concepts. Donovan's video tutorials are also very good if you want tobuild a store. But since the web applications I want to build have nothingto do with stores, I found myself standing betwixt and between quite often.So I had to swallow my pride and ask Govinda for help. He got me through myfirst application, and now I have a burning desire to create more WebDNAapplications. The thing that has had me almost quit WebDna many times, was that I couldn'tGoogle my programming question, and easily and quickly find the answer. Ilove that I can get instant answers to problems with HTML, CSS andJavascript. With WebDNA I can't Google questions or go toSafaribooksonline.com, and use my subscription there to read a book aboutit. But the beauty and grace of this language keeps me holding fast. I agree with Govinda that you need to dive in, get going, and ask for helpwhen you get stuck. For me, it's easier to Google than to ask for help. Butsince the help is so readily and joyfully offered, how can I resist? As Imove forward with more applications, and enhancing the ones I've alreadycreated, I'll be watching out for common themes that I can suggest forfuture tutorials. There is one thing I've been wrestling with. I'd like to know how toperiodically delete all the records in a database except the ones that werewritten that day. How would I go about doing that?
