Hi

 

I?ve highlighted this back to the list, because it?s not just a good resource
Daniel mentioned, its highlighted a question I wanted to ask:

 

A lot of good work has been done by the support community in converting books
to PDF, but do we actually have an issue in that these aren?t searchable
by an internet search engine?

 

Is anyone compiling a definitive list of these resources ? because I probably
would only have found this by accident, if Daniel hadn?t pointed it out.

 

We have the good work being done by JG Harston with BeebWiki, but is anyone
compiling a searchable library of PDF publications so that they are (more)
accessible?

 

Or JG, can you move recommended books to the Wiki? Huge piece of work I appreciate.

 

Kind regards

 

 

 

John

Hi John,

If it's ostensibly just a decision tree presented in an app format, I don't 
think it'd really be ticking the boxes I'd expect to see for a degree project
- or at least I don't think there's enough there to push it into the high
mark zone (however, this really depends on what your degree is in?)

 

In so far as trouble shooting a beeb, for those without a scope etc, this
is the go-to first step:
