i think the documentation needs to be done by a non java savi technical
writer as it does seem with java developers there is a whole stack of
assumptions that people should know what they know and there is issues
trying to get the point across.
however the scripting API should cancel this out however the only one
id prob choose without having the learn an entire new language would be
javascript, i doubt there are as many people in ruby and python land as
there are in C#, java, or php, actionscript land , as these would be my
preferences, i think they were adopted because they are preferences by
core developers or what the java scripting API has available, even a
mono API at least. Im soon to learn python anyway to code in zope/plone
but i shouldnt be forced to learn for another language my preference is
the core java code anyway as its what im most familiar with.
If you are going to admin red5 you currently need to know java, how the
framework works , its log4j logging api etc. I think the war solution
might be an easier idea and embedded into a red5 eclipse plugin as it
seems alot of people just want to get it up and running quickly for
development and testing to begin with.
THEY ALL HAVE TOTURIALS THAT ACTUALLY WORK, the all SUPPORT new users.
Hi im too tired right now to read the whole thing but one comment here,
that comment is totally bollox, i code in quite a few languages, php,
java, C#, AS2/AS3, perl. It terms of working examples and resources it
goes in order php, perl, java, Actionscript, C#.
So as you see down the line the worst for documentation and examples
that constantly keeps changing, out of date or simply doesnt even work,
.NET is the worst of the lot, its terrible, half baked examples,
examples that dont work, examples that are deprecated, documentatin that
is deprecated etc :)
then AS next, its horrible to work out nitty gritty things off the
standard documentation websites, its a nightmare to get going in general
especially when its new and either not fully announced or still in beta
stages like flex/flash 9 and they keep making huge leaps in the code
every 2 years and hard to keep up :)
for instance when mx 2004 came out we immediately jumped onto the
progressive download video band wagon, 6 or so months before it was
fully released and documented, and during that time relied on really
minimal documentation and work it out yourself kinda thing, especially
with getting the encoding done properly via mediacleaner it was
particular :)
this tutorial that comes with red5 leaves more questions than it
answers. The videos are for people with no brain. 'make sure the
service is running.' I am not a fool. I want ANSWERS.
Now, I have asked 2 very simple beginners questions, and NOBODY is
capable of just - answering them?
i have a very strong suggestion for the red5 team:
Make Tutorials That Work and EXPLAIN how they work IN them
Make DOCUMENTATION, and put it ONLINE
