What is the proportion of the written part new (personal), compared to the translated part of already existing documentation?

The new stuff is about 5%, some simpler examples of UDT and pointers, some sorting algorithms from https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:S ... Algorithms

Missing GUI examples, which for them i plan a new exclusive book with any framework.

The most important is that the book takes reader by hand and step by step teaches programming.
The manual is very big and does not have a guide except tutorials.

Although I'm unable to read or speak Greek, I think that's very cool. It's an enormous undertaking to write a book. Would you mind if I translated a copy in English for my own use? Thank you :)

The book is free (CC BY 4.0) you can create your own books based on it.
Look at github there is a odt file for editing with LibreOffice, if you wish !

Hello community,
Today i decided to start my second book about FreeBASIC.
This time i will describe the GUI MyFBFramework and VisualFBEditor.
This will not be a general programming book. It will discuss only GUI programming with the above framework.
The book will be in Greek language.

Stay tuned the pdf and the book will be available soon (i suppose about 2 months)

Have a nice day!!!

Nice idea, thanks.
You can also make a general book on graphical programming for the various libraries listed here: https://freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=28510

From the list i choose MyFbFramework because it is very easy, much easier than iup, it is crossplatform, and has a gui designer and is updated.
The negative is that it has not complete docs, so i will ask your opinion in discussions at github...

It was just my suggestion (one book for all famous GUI libraries).
Good. As I said in the discussion at github, I am ready for any questions and suggestions. Thank you for creating this book.
