Sorry, but as in the original post, I'm quite happy
with my (limited) MT knowledge. The question arose
because I am finding it hard to get colleagues into
MT - as contractors, we do not have time to read the
source of libraries, but rather have to use the
fastest and (for clients' sakes) best documented
libraries we can find.
I've been programming JS since 1996, and I would really
like to get more in MT, but right now I have an
insurance company that requires an IT system to comply
with new legislation, and most of my time has to
be spent on business logic and production rules.
Otherwise, I would be programming SSJS and taking
a look at DART, and learning the APR...!
Thanks for the thought, though, and many thanks for
the hard work you have put into MT! It is still the
most pleasant library to work with, at least, even
if the docs are a bit less than some would like.
Cheers

FWIW, I wrote the MooTorial AND the original docs for MooTools because
I wanted my organization (CNET) to adopt it. If you want to learn
MooTools, read through the source. No other thing will teach you half
as much about JavaScript. Read each file until you understand what
everything is doing and I promise you you'll emerge a JavaScript badass.

Thank you all for your responses.
I look forward to passing around up-to-date tutorials: I am not
good enough to convince people to adopt the technology based on
out-of-date tutorials and conversion guides, nor am I good enough
to write a worthwhile tutorial!
Cheers

Aaron's mootorial might be out of date but is still worth a
read imho.
The olde class explanation tutorial was (and probably is) a
very good
step-by-step guide how it works.
Going from 1.2 to 1.4 syntax is quite easy, especially when
you have
the upgrade guide here:
https://github.com/mootools/mootools-core/wiki/Upgrade-from-1.2-to-1.3
and some forum thread about it with some more info:
http://www.mooforum.net/help-f26/upgrade-update-guide-t3643.html
The already mention link at rflorence's site
(http://ryanflorence.com/
issue-004/ <http://ryanflorence.com/%0Aissue-004/>) has some
easy to understand Slick examples (see MooTools
Element 1.3 section).
Also the source of More is great to see how stuff is done.
