Introduction and Requirements
The purpose of this chapter is to give you a running start in writing software
in PureBasic.
The fundamentals of the language will be described and then an example
will be provided which you can type in and run. This will allow you to get used to
the PureBasic development environment and confirm that it is installed and running
correctly. Instructions which will be frequently used throughout the User Guide
will be demonstrated and explained in detail in this first example.
Finally, the example will be taken apart line by line and explained
so that you understand what is happening (at the fundamental level).
The only requirements for this chapter are that you have installed PureBasic.
