Folks, I know there are a few people asking for details of tutorials and the like for FarCry. A kind of Jump Start to using the product platform. Thought I'd give some feedback on where we are with this, the roadmap moving forward and so on.
Firstly, there is a great deal of documentation already available. I acknowledge its spread out and not all that easy to find, especially in the order that might benefit a beginner. I'm working on bringing the WIKI into line, and putting things in easy to find places but this will take a while. Formtools reference: http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV50/Formtools Developer Course 4.0: http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV40/Developer+Training+Course Sample plugins to dissect: http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCPLUG/Home Code by example: http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV40/Code+By+Example http://docs.farcrycms.org/display/FCDEV40/Tutorials There is an official FarCry Jump Start course, instructor lead and complete with documentation and code base. This is a commercial offering available today for larger teams. We hope to start offering this course later in the year via Adobe Connect in a series of "public courses" that would be more affordable for smaller teams. We're working on a couple of sample applications that will be released as open source, and will endeavour to showcase FarCry 5.0 best practice. Developers should be able to dissect these applications and gain insight into how more complex FarCry applications are built. The first of these is the NearCry blogging platform. If you haven't already, you might consider downloading this code base and having a look. I also have ambitions of writing a "Book of FarCry", available progressively on the WIKI with a view to being eventually bundled and sold as an actual publication. But heh, I wouldn't be waiting up for this one just yet. All the best, geoff http://www.daemon.com.au/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-dev" group.
