Anything on YouTube? I see a bunch of hits on YouTube but would have no idea if that is what you are looking for.

Ok. I have Safari Online and I see a book "Using SVG with CSS3 and HTML5" O'Reilly ($32.49 - Amazon). Have you thought about going the "book" route? I know it is so retro to go that way, but....

Quite happy to go retro. Thanks for recommendation. Looking at it now.

I'm not into that stuff myself, but I've found Udemy[^] to be a great source for pretty much anything 
Just check the best seller's and highest rated.
And be sure to wait for any discounts, they regularly go from $199.99 to $9.99

Unfortunately so, simply because Udemy don't act unless someone points out a fake they find, and even then you have to jump through bloody hoops to prove anything.
Iv'e actually had stuff that Iv'e given away free, turn up on there before and getting a sum charged for it.

Actually I have some things in the pipeline, inc some updated stuff for the Syncfusion range, but I gotta finish off my Bootstrap 4 book first, and with everything else I have going on at the moment time is rather short.
If you need your fix now however, there's actually a lot of stuff buried in the google developers channel on youtube, you just need to find it.

If already good with HTML/JS/CSS, then getting into SVG will be okay.
If no HTML/JS/CSS, then learn some of that first.
The most likly biggest used code with javascript I would say is jQuery.
So if firmilary with that, look at d3 or snapSVG which try to do an equivalent for the SVG name space.
Note: doing document.createElement('circle') wont 'always' work due to name spacing. d3/svgsnap handles this, jQuery does not. some parts of jQuery works with the svg elements, but some of it does not.
for d3 examples: Popular Blocks - bl.ocks.org[^]
lastly, if want play with some svg, look inkscape. Free gui for making SVG, which you can save and put into a html page.

I use mxGraph library extensively for diagramming. The library is JavaScript, but it uses DriawIO library for SVG drawing. It is not a tutorial, but if you want examples this is a good library to look at.

BLECH! Designed to take you twice as long to master, if not longer!
Reading on DIBS[^] - "BMP File Formats: bfType - A WORD that defines the type of file. It must be 'BM'."
Why couldn't they have said the individual bytes of the WORD must be the ASCII representations of 'B' and 'M'??? No wonder they had to fix so many buffer overflow issues throughout the years!
Feel free to share your own personal favorite hated examples.

Sounds fine to me; a WORD in Windows is always 16 bits wide, so that makes perfect sense. Or am I missing something?
|
|

You are not missing anything, but for newbies there is no 'M' in hexadecimal, for one thing. Microsoft's wording is not clear until a certain amount of information is obtained as background, which you have.
|
|
|
|
|
B = 11
'B' = 66
Quotes mean a literal string, again something I'm sure everyone knows.

I meant everyone that reads documentation. So the people in QA don't count

It does not mention hexadecimal.

No, I have just as much as everyone else.

If I recall, it's simple. It's because the constant, in C, is:
WORD bfType = 'BM';
.. or something like that. Endian, of course, matters. Incidentally, that's also how all FOURCC codes are coded.

Because what they said is more concise, yet still conveys the important facts?
|

It would appear to be concise if you were examining a bitmap file with a hex editor, but reading that by itself will throw some newbies for a bit of a loop in its original wording.

The audience for that article doesn't seem to be newbie developers, it looks like it is aimed at people already proficient in C\C++ who are there to learn about DIBs, not newbies who are looking to learn C\C++.
