Would you consider writing a book on EL? As Mark has pointed out, the
resources are exceedingly poor for EL programming newbies. An EL book from
your unique perspective would be a valuable addition.

Unfortunately, things are not so simple and mastering a programming language
is not included in any book.
Programming is easy, even with EL, even if not enough documented.
What is difficult is to master your thinking when programming something.
The language is the support, the idea the core, and the result is your work.
I personally never followed programming courses but always found the answer by
reflection.
So, I have trainded my brain and not my EL knowledge (EL knowledge comes as
you progress).
The hardest the work at the beginning, the best the result a
h to know and all is in the
documentation, with a few exceptions.
I do not like programming very much, but I like to solve problems.
Programming language is one modern and powerful mean to do this.
But without your own ability that you may increase by practice, no book, no
secret documentation will help you very much. The result could be even worse
if you take the habit to rely on external sources and to not find a benefit in
training your brain.
What was very pleasant for me with TS Express was the "Stump the programmer "
problem posted in each issue.
(Follow the shortest code solution to a given problem).
Even if I have been the winner a lot of time, this enforced me to find tricks
that I would not have thought about before. Because I needed it to beat the
challengers (if any).
This is a true manner to progress.
And a robust one.
Once you have achieved this goal, things becomes more simple.
Even the Sirtrade97 breakthought reurofuzzy software has been evolved with
this principle in mind (but I was not alone to do this).
We have succeded to do something that is unavailable elsewhere, without
anything else than our experience,and the standard TS documentation. And the
thing is even able to retrain realtime during the market within TradeStation,
without crashing and without hooking too much CPU time.
Sincerely,
