I guess I just wanted to post a thank you for the tutorials made by Steph and Andy Lindsay for the Propeller C code. A month and a half ago, I had no C programming or microcontroller experience to speak of and thanks to the Propeller C Tutorials, I've already been able to program up 4 different sensors and have just learned TONS about programming and microcontrollers. Without the tutorials, I would have been completely lost, so I just wanted to say thank you for the effort you put in to make them helpful and easy to follow!

    Your'e quite right!

    Andy, Steph and the whole crew at parallax have been pumping out some awesome tutorials and code.

    Your recognition will make them happy, I'm sure.That's why we love Parallax.!

    Thank YOU so much for your kind words, Brian!

    Nothing fills our sails with wind quite like hearing that we've helped a newcomer make a successful start in microcontroller programming. Though our names are on the tutorial pages, there are a number of larger teams behind us making it all possible. I'll make sure to pass along the news of your success!

    Thank you c07Brian.Kester -

    This positive feedback means a lot to our team. It's also important for our own decision making, too. Just a few minutes ago we were discussing where one of the aforementioned people might put their effort for the greatest customer benefit.

    Not a day goes by where I'm not thankful to be able to work with Andy, Stephanie and the rest of the Education team.

    Agreed! Parallax Learn materials are the best! Long before I started robotics/electronics I used to just read all the stuff on the Parallax website and look at pdf's of all the books. The Learn portion of the site is great resource for teachers and students. Parallax also is generous and openly shares so much!

    As I see that you are fairly new to the forums, let me say that there are many, many people here who will bend over backwards to help too. Most of them are very experience and very knowledgeable - plus the Parallax folks are active here too! (as you see above).
