Welcome Travis. As to your first question, I don't know. When I started, I just dove in head first, however, that is how I learn best. My suggestion is to just start looking at the code and figure out what does what. Also, look around on the samples site http://mapguide.osgeo.org/livegallery.html and see what is possible. Alot of the samples have the code posted as well. This will give you an idea of what is currently possible. As for your second question, I would actually suggest looking at MapGuide Studio, not Web Studio, since it is easier to create the feature sources and do general "maintenance" stuff like the rename folders. However, it has been a while since I tried using Web Studio. There is a free trial that you can get to try it out first. I can't remember the exact price for the actual software, but it wasn't much and was well worth it. I was a newbie myself at the beginning of the year. Hope that helps.

My company is moving away from ESRI technology (primarily ArcIMS for web-based apps) and embracing MapGuide Open Source. Our clients like the price tag. I have read most of the Newbie documentation that I can find. To date, I have read the Help in Site Administrator and in Web Studio. I have also read the first four chapters in the Users Guide for MGE 6.5. I have since abandoned that read because it doesn't seem to have a high degree of fidelity with MGOS. Is this accurate? Is there any good documentation that I can read about simply using MGOS. My main aim is to get coding as soon as possible, but I want to nail down the fundamentals of system logic and functionality flow first. Development will make a lot more sense then.I have two questions for the group then: 1) What and where is the good documentation? I have the developers guide for 1.2.0, but I am postponing reading that until I can find some more basic User level stuff. 2) I created a folder in Web Studio and then tried to rename it. It displayed the input box with the cancel button (grey circle with x) with the new folder name, but did not save the change. I tried saving the resource from the file menu to no avail. And I tried to change the folder name in the Properties panel for the resource, but, alas, again to no avail. How do you permanently change a folder name in Web Studio? Thanks in advance.

You cannot do the first suggestion, as the SetSpatialFilter will clear any previous filter. You can combine the objects, but you can also use Sql like: "Geometry Inside GEOMFROMTEXT('...') Or Geometry Inside GEOMFROMTEXT('...')" The ... should be replaced with the WKT for the objects. Im not familliar with construction of the query using the API, but internally there exists objects that represents an Or operation. If those are avalible to the API, you can construct such objects.
