Just saw this on the Parallax news page. It sounds very cool! I'm looking forward to the first installment.

Yup,

Looks like 2-3 weeks out.

From the sounds of it, everyone at Parallax is very busy all of the time!

Patience ... it's only mid-June. If you haven't already, go through the existing C tutorials on the <learn.parallax.com> website.

We appreciate your patience; chapters 1-6 are on the verge of initial release as a PDF-only format. All major editing is now finished and it's in the hands of our final reviewers.

I thought "we" were the final reviewers!!!!

I worked my way through Chapters 1-6, trying to relearn C (for about the fourth time since the mid-80s).
I think it is a good introduction to C on the Activity Board.
I was a little surprised that you didn't introduce the keyword #define, but rather used all literal I/O pin numbers. Good programming practice and all like that...
In Button-ReactionTimer, the comment on pause(1)should, of course, be //pause 1 millisecond

@tomcrawford - Thank you for noticing that typo. I will add it to our edits list.

I spent some time going back through Chap 1-6 and came up with the attached list of comments. Some are nits, some reflect personal taste, and a few relate to real errors. I hope you will find them useful. tc
