Documentation in addition to the (essential) Tcl API docs: 1. Database connection. This is what brought me to AOLserver in the first place. It is the lifeline of my applications. Availability of the necessary information to connect using new releases has been tenuous sometimes and this is a worry. There should at minimum be a sample nsd.tcl with illustrations of how to connect to different DBMS's under various OS's, and current driver installation and use docs.
2. Encoding. The mystery of funny characters. There have been some very good posts on the list about this but needs to be more central. 3. ADP. I came to AOLserver from a Perl/CGI background. The transition to Tcl was obvious but I've never really gotten on the ADP bandwagon and am pretty sure there is an approach there I should have in my toolkit. I'd like to read a Thinking in ADP. 4. C and CVS. I'm not a C programmer and wouldn't call myself a software engineer. My academic background is library science, not computer science. I develop applications more than tools. With AOLserver being Open Source now there is access to fundamental information about the system. I'd like to be able to tap into this even though I can't really participate at that level but I need an Introduction to the Source Forge Environment. I've learned how to read C programs to a certain extent and have often imagined a Bluffers Guide to C to help people who want or need to get some understanding at that level. >But, I know folks >also wanted other documentation (tutorials, more HOWTO guides, >etc.) --now is your opportunity to speak up and discuss what >documentation >you'd like to see next. So, what do folks want?
