I was reading an article the other day which included the following useful snippet of advice for learning new programming languages:
"Learn a programming language quickly by modifying other code. I found code for searching a database. I just modified that and fed in this database. As long as you know the basic tools: if, then, loops, recursion, the syntax of the language, functions, etc. you can learn any programming language by having a book for the basic syntax and modifying other code."

FUZE now supports sound samples
The latest version of FUZE Basic now supports sound samples.
Depending on your set up for using the FUZE you might need to add some external speakers so that the sounds can be heard. The FUZE box has an audio output next to the HDMI socket.
Monitors with in-built speakers should play the sounds without the need for additional devices.
