This tutorial was written by Samuel Reynolds (that's me!).
At the time of this writing, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at CSG Systems, Inc. in Englewood, CO (Denver metro area), and live in nearby Parker, CO. I'm largely self-taught in software engineering, coming from a background in general and electronic engineering.
I have used Frontier since the free Aretha (4.0) release on the Mac and (since 5.0.1) on Windows. I use it for task automation, website maintenance, and as an brainstorming tool (the outliner's great for that!). I am also privileged to serve as a UserLand support associate, providing technical support to registered Frontier users through UserLand's Frontier-Users mailing list (password protected for registered Frontier users only).
For other published Frontier materials, please visit my Frontier Scripting website.
