I think this too. the documentation isnt very userfriendly. The authors start often at a point, a new or normal user isnt at this time. Easy step by step tutorials are missed. On the other hand often many documentation not at the state of the art or broken. see contributions. 90% of the links doesnt run and the download process not ready:( This is very frustrating for me too:(
qooxdoo can have much more success, if their be simple tuts and a full working documentation. Often some simple things missed, like the avaible options for a procedure call , like north,south,east,west for dock layout. a normal user never thinks that this can be the option:) I try left,top,.. and are frustated about 3 days:( tilli i find the real avaiable options some months ago. > Hi Josef, > > keep cool, at my very first time working with qooxdoo, I was often > frustated. ;) > > You are right, the demo browser is not even good for beginners to get in > table handling.
