[ALLY] Re: Getting one's head around View/Vid

Hi Brett,
The html docs are out of date, though many of the principals still hold
true.
Best bet to learn with is Carls easyvid.r tutorial. Have a search around the
View demo for it.
At the lowest level, everything in view is a face object, VID provides a
simple dialect for creating faces. So simple in fact that as a new view
user, you may not need to know about the underlying faces for a while.
Hope this helps, I'll write some more when I can. Feel free to ask any
questions.
Cheers,
Allen K
