Using the demobrowser (there is a 'show js code'), the playground, the API
viewer as well as looking at some of the Qooxdoo applications helps a lot.
And 'Use the source, Luke ...' ... ;-)
There are also several tutorials (one by the Qooxdoo team and some others).
For a quick start I guess talking to some experts can be helpful. My
colleague Tobi Oetiker does Qooxdoo tutorials at conferences every once in a
while and I believe the Qooxdoo team does as well.
And of course it would also be possible to organize training sessions if
there is enough interest.
And, last but not least the mailing list is a very valuable resource ...
(where beginner questions are treated with the same respect as 'advanced'
questions).
So, just get started ... and if you are really looking for a framework to
program serious web applications ... I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Cheers,
Fritz

Thanks Fritz and Aditya!Am just going through the docs. By the way
just wanted to know if the docs are sufficient to leanr the framework
apart from of course working on it and learning, and is there any
other sources which you would want to recommend. My apologies for
bugging you all here.
Thanks
Alice!

To my mind JQuery and Qooxdoo are orthogonal.
In broad strokes, JQuery is nice for theming and controlling a bunch
of HTML, whereas Qooxdoo is a self-contained application platform
which shines when the server doesn't care about presentation and
responds to AJAX requests with JSON or XML.
Qooxdoo is a superset of JQuery in terms of functionality [1] which is
why it is able to use JQuery plugins [2] with some wrapping. Qooxdoo
also has very efficient widgets of its own - I was pleasantly
surprised that I could have a table with 30,000 row.
On the downside it comes with a much steeper learning curve and can be
heavier - if you're making web sites for mobile phones you need to be
careful of memory usage [3]. It also has nowhere near as rich a set of
UI plugins as JQuery (eg. to my knowledge there isn't a lightbox image
viewer or a slideshow widget) - but since integration is relatively
simple it shouldn't be a huge deal.

Hi all,
I have been into web development for the past few months and program
in python. Now as I go ahead, I realise that running away from
Javascript is not going to take me anywhere. So I picked up Dojo , and
have been working around with it for some time. But the poor docs make
me spend a lot of time figuring out the smallest of things. After
doing some research on the available frameworks , I decided to go with
Qooxdoo and I hope I am able to catch up things fast.
However some post on stackoverflow said that Qooxdoo is not a
replacement for jquery.Does that mean I will have to go ahead learning
jquery too. I personally dont want to learn jquery, the only
reason--almost every other person uses it.. :-) .
Thanks
Alice!
