Builder's Buddy First workshop

Getting a group in SL to work on projects and keep all their things in one place is tricky. So over the last week with some help from DW I developed a worksheet based on the  Builder's Buddy scripts.

Because the Builder's Buddy uses a channel for the Base object to talk to all the component objects it is important that each person using the scripts is using a different channel, so the first challenge of running the workshop is editing the scripts. In face to face programming classes it is often difficult to realise some one has lost a semicolon, across virtual worlds it is all but impossible, one person had the semicolon inside a comment but this was not obvious in the questions I asked or the answers I got.

However the workshop went ok and eventually all worked ok, I'm going to try and run the workshops a few more times.

I've got a wish for a new set of tools that will make class building easier.
