Where To Go From Here

You should now be ready (and, I hope, eager) to build your own Web sites with Frontier. You can learn a great deal just by doing this.
But you should also want to do more; what that is, depends on you. There are many paths you can go down to advance as a Frontier user.
To learn more about site management, study the example Web sites included with Frontier.
To start learning UserTalk, proceed to the next tutorial: http://www.scripting.com/matt/scriptingtutorial/.
To learn more about Frontier as a whole, grab my online help reference, workspace.ALittleHelp. It's a Frontier outline so it's easy to navigate. It's at http://www.tidbits.com/matt/ftp/ALittleHelp.hqx.
Download the full documentation from ftp://ftp.scripting.com/userland/onlineDocs.sit.hqx. Read this over in your spare time. To use it as a fast reference, use a text search tool like UltraFind.
DocServer (in the "UserLand Utilities" folder) is the primary source for understanding the verbs and punctuation that make up the UserTalk language. It's worth reading systematically.
Study the database. Programming examples are an important way to understand Frontier.
Subscribe to one or more of the Frontier mailing lists. Frontier-Beginners is good if you're a -- well, a Frontier beginner. It's populated by beginners and by people who like answering their questions. See http://www.scripting.com/frontier/admin/mail.html.
Check into http://www.scripting.com often. Lots of daily announcements, and it's searchable. Explore; get well acquainted with the site.
Above all: have a clear idea of what more you'd like Frontier to do for you. There's nothing like having a definite goal to get you tinkering successfully.
