Today is my very first day that I planned to take a serious look at Lift. I've coded webapps in many different frameworks and plan to do a simple Employee app and add my 'how to' to the site I host here http://www.learntechnology.net/content/main.jsp (which many of the examples there show the same application being built with different frameworks.)
Some users like myself might want to start by looking at an existing examples before going through the exact step by step as described in the user manual (which has a broken link to the wiki by the way -yes, I submitted a bug report.) If I want to take that route there should be a quick way to find example projects with the source code. Finding these example was extremely tedious.... At some point a new user might go the wiki. .. you get to the wiki page looking for examples.. you look at the content menu.. you might try the 'cheat sheet getting started link'... cheat by examples has a link 'lift by examples', but that doesn't seem to really show example apps? BY CHANCE, I happened to see in a "How To" - how to run examples (which at first i thought why would I click this when I haven't even seen any examples?), but I clicked it anyway.. Then on the "how to run examples' link I was excited to see a list of some examples (buried way to deep for a new user to find imo.) Yet only the war links work? None of the project links are active? Finding example apps to study and learn by is seemingly very difficult to do. Are there any out there? If so where? For new user, learning by examples is extremely important. I think a lot of new users will be turned off if it's difficult to find some example applications to study to learn from. I understand all of this is open source and I plan to write a tutorial once I learn it, but it would be nice to find some existing apps to start with. thanks for all the work done so far. -- Rick R --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
