 One resource I'd definitely check out, assuming you have ftp access,
is the box of wonders at ftp.gmd.de in the if-archive directory. Check
out particularly the if-archive/programming/tads/examples directory
where you'll find a draft of my tip sheet for TADS and many useful
educational source code examples. At this point I'm not planning on
doing much more work on the TADS tip sheet as when I released it I was
met by deafening silence :) but I think it's got a reasonable
collection of helpful advice that might help you learn the TADS
environment.
