I apologize to the group for complaining and being critical of something that's wonderful and free ! I'll have to admit that I got completely spoiled by the level of detail and the quality of writing in the QuickStart.
The pattern and flow of the writing there is beyond clever and truly is a joy to follow along with. I imagine that some of its cleverness might be lost on someone to which English is a second language, but for me, it was absolutely delightful ! Throwing in phrases like: "What's with that?", or making one think, with word play like: "If only we could tell Model-Glue to..." - made the experience so fun that I didn't even realize that I had just learned most of the important details about a truly incredible framework. Lately, I've had difficulties with other tutorials elsewhere as well as some code examples that just plain didn't work due to small but highly significant mistakes or omissions. I lost a lot of time making these things work and I guess I took my frustrations out here. Sorry... On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 8:50 PM, Matt Quackenbush <[email protected]>wrote: > Wow.
