Well, here is a small revision: - A document says a few words :( - A picture says a thousand words. - A video says it *all *!!
It doesn't say anything about how well the code is kept up to date, how many resources are dedicated to development, possible legal issues (as outlined by Bill Karwin earlier) and so on.
We can *incorporate *all that info (and then some) at the very beginning of the video(s) alike the doc-block comments included at the top of each class file :~) IMO, video demos/tutorials is the current trend to go (QCodo, RoR...). A book or two written would be a great exposure, too (aka Symfony). Regards, On 6/17/07, till <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I see how marketing buys into that and people respond like - "oh, they build this app in five minutes using X framework - it must be easy". Then again, we all know it is not because otherwise some of us wouldn't have a job. ;-) Honestly, I don't believe that videos which show you how to build an app in five minutes (with Textmate and on the fancy mac) by any means demonstrate or say anything about a high quality of code. It doesn't say anything about how well the code is kept up to date, how many resources are dedicated to development, possible legal issues (as outlined by Bill Karwin earlier) and so on. I am sure this will be necessary at some point, but I also wonder what kind of developers you want to persuade with that. :-) Cheers, Till
