I second Michael's thoughts. I looked at restlets half a dozen or so times over the past year or so before finally taking the plunge a couple of weeks ago.
While I might not say it's the easiest framework I've ever used, it is very nice once you get the hang of it. It took a couple of days of fiddling, but now I do all kinds of great stuff with it and I just love it. Alex, what were you trying to do? I found that following the First Steps, First Resource and Tutorial, step by step, was very helpful. I actually went back and forth between the First Steps and the First Resource a few times before I really got the hang of it. http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/firstSteps http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/firstResource http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/tutorial Hope it helps. --Erik On Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 11:47 PM, Michael Terrington < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Alex, > > Sorry to hear of your bad experience but I have to speak up to defend > Restlet.
