DinkC Tutorial
A webpage about the basics of DinkC.
It summarises well the various aspects of writing DinkC, but from a point of view that is clearly geared to those that already understand or have been exposed to programming before.
I feel that this page used in conjuction with other attempts at explaining how to use DinkC will ultimately benefit the non-programming newbie DMOD author... but you need to study and understand the information.
It doesn't have a plethora of examples and the links now point to defunct websites.

Purpose: This tutorial is meant for beginners, as it teaches the basics of DinkC.
Good: It explains several procedures. There are some links where you can get additional information.
Not so good: The file just explains the procedures, and it gives only very few examples. It is very to the point, which can be good, but this seems more like a summary or an aid of memory then an extensive tutorial on how to actually script - or learn how to script.
I doubt if this tutorial can be fully understood by newbies if they do not have any programming experience at all.
Remark: As a summary for those who already know how to script it is a good file since it is to the point (it does not however cover everything). But since this file is a tutorial for beginners (as the author states: '(...) for people with little or no programming experience(...)'), and since it lacks clearity, does not explain scripting step by step, and has only few examples - things that are essential for a tutorial for beginners - I can not but give a lower score.
Overall: a tutorial that looks more like a summary.
