So I was reading the blue book and noticed it is very good study. But for some reason when I was a beginner I still didn't get it. Now I get it more. I just wish there was something that made the blue book better for fresh beginners. This one confused me.

Creating an updated version might help, instead of reading docs from what .. 2003?

You're not alone in that. When I first joined BYOND, I bought the Blue Book and diligently read it.

The only problem was at that point, I had zero programming experience, and I found the book to be written just beyond my level at the time (ha!). A lot of it only makes any sense if you already have a passing level of foundational knowledge.

I've said for years that the site needs a resource that is truly written for an absolute beginner. I've even made a few aborted attempts to write one myself, but never gotten anywhere.

Glad I'm not the only one who felt like that.
We just need a good wiki to put all this needed information on.
