As I sat in the developer track classes at LiNC I noticed a familiar expression of the faces of several others who sat around me: excitement and intrigue mixed with a strong look on confusion. Shiny ...
Hi JillianB ,
I'm so happy to hear the suggestions in this thread. I'm the writer at Lithium responsible for Studio and API documentation. I've been with the company just over a year. It's a big job, and one of the biggest dilemmas is gauging the right content for the right audience. (That and juggling priorities of documenting new features while enhancing the existing documentation set.)
I love the idea of a series of "refresh" tutorials. We did recently add an intro to FreeMarker and custom components based on a presentation at one of our developer meetups. I'd love your feedback on whether the level is too high/too low/just right.
Thanks for your input.
Susan,
First off, I just want to say I am super impressed by all the content Lithium develops. Right now, I have a few too many pages open - and they're all helping me get just a little bit closer to what I'm trying to achieve. I'm just personally lacking in programming skills, so sometimes articles and posts are lost on me.
However, the article you linked to is a perfect example of what I'd love to see more of. It's super technical, but broken down enough that I can easily follow along, learn, and then experiment on my own. I don't want to have to flood the developer forum (or support - which I almost did last week) with a bunch of "how do I" posts. Articles like this help so much! :smileyhappy:
Thank you!
Would be cool to have a "cookbook" section full of sample code for custom widgets, api calls etc I know we have some of this around the dev boards but it would be good to see something similar to what salesforce do with their dev community.
