How to: Write a tutorial
Snyper345
How To:

1.Think about the task you want to teach to someone, mentally go through each part of the task in your mind.

2.Write out each step that must be completed in order to finish the task.

3.Go and do the task using the step by step instructions that you just wrote out.

4.Add any steps you may have inadvertently forgotten when you wrote them down the first time.

5.Go and do the task again using the newly revised set of instructions.

6.Repeat these first steps as many times as it takes until you can follow your own instructions and complete the task as though you were doing it for the first time.

7.Open your word processing program and type up the final version of your instructions for how to complete the task.

Yes this is copied and pasted just for some of the members who do not know how to write a tutorial sufficiently as like myself

an even easier step is as your making your project Write in steps on word or something as you slowly do it

example =


How to make a message in a textbox

things needed =
-*Application/Software needed*, im going to use Visual Studio 2010/08 (You can add a version number here)
- 1 Button
- 1 Textbox

First start by making a new project


then add a Textbox and a Button to the form (any size just aslong as it fits with in the form


once your done with that (Big task i know) double click or right click the button and go view code


Add this to the buttons code, Textbox1.text = ("I CAN WRITE A TUTORIAL!")


what this does is when the button is clicked an event will happen


debug what you have done (Debug is the green play button up top :P) and when you click the button the textbox will = I CAN WRITE A TUTORIAL!


and your done

Pretty much to make a good text tutorial, you need screenshots for the process of what you're creating, step by step, and also explain what does what in a nice unser friendly detailed manner, as I've done here.

I can't read the text, it's way to small for me... Just joking, that should teach some people how to make their tutorials better :D
