I have to agree with Milan here. We really could do with more tutorials and examples for the more complex features like validation and editors. Most of the time the best we get are fragments of code, half examples and javadocs.
If you aren't a super programmer with lots of experience then it's quite hard to really get how these things work with just basic documentation.
