    One
    author may speak to you more clearly than another... and just start programming... anything. I usually tell people to start with books that cover the basics, kind of like those tutorials you mention, then try to keep moving toward more involved books.

    I don't know much about the programming language that Mystic offers, you'll have better luck discussing that aspect in the MYSTIC echo... Now over here, I run BBBS and its programming language uses features of C, Pascal and perl... (just enough to keep it confusing <vbg>) but with my knowledge of those languages, I was able to use BBBS' language to create some utilities, modify some ANSI games to use under BBBS, etc.

    Good luck to you, and don't give up...

    Take care,
    Janis
