TDKs tutorials are better kept up and they are a must-see for newbies.

Quote: "Out of all the tutorials I've looked at in the TGC forums, most are broken links or are incomplete or are so old that they won't work."
Not that it's an excuse but I'd rather everybody at The Game Creators work on improving Darkbasic Pro instead of rewriting old tutorials every time they make a new update.
Quote: "In 'Hands On DarkBASIC Pro' vols 1 and 2 the examples some times work, some times work half a--ed, or don't work at all."
Any time you use a book to learn programming when it first comes out it'll be compatible but after that the more updated the program becomes the less compatible the book is. That's why there are new dictionaries every year to add new words, new schoolbooks to add new discoveries, and new programming books to keep up with Darkbasic Pro.
It's not just the book The Game Creators support it's all of them. The book I got my Dad last year I had to go through it with him to fix some of the code examples that had errors. It's just part of life as a programmer.
This is the book if you're interested:
