APDL have put a lot of their material originally published on CDROM on
the web. One of the finest tutorials is that written by the late
Martyn Fox - "Beginner's Guide to WIMP Programming". I'm not a
programmer but with a bit of effort even I could follow it. The
tutorial is all in BASIC so modification is easier compared with other
languages. It covers SWIs and ends with a complete WIMP shell that can
be used to build an application. Certainly worth looking at.
