2.0 Simple Magic

Chapter 2: Simple Magic

Shoes has lots of features that might do what you want if only someone would write it down so you can find it and then you can experiment and learn more. Some magic may require you to use the command line but you'll become a more knowledgable Shoes developer when you decide to.

At a minimum, you'll learn what else Shoes can do, so skim these articles and then you can read them again until you get lost. Take a break. Cogitate. Try something - you can't hurt Shoes - it can always be re-installed although you should not need to do that when playing around below. Not everything has to be absorbed at once to have fun learning.
