Right, but, again, I'd guess that most folks perusing RevNet aren't total programming newbies.
They wouldn't be if they took advantage of the goodies available through RevNet. :)
I don't find example stacks boring to make... but I'd probably find documentation not fun... still, the fun factor or lack thereof isn't necessarily an indicator of importance, is it?
No, merely an indication of why more tutorials aren't coming from the developer community relative to the number of really great tools and libraries.
I was looking at third parties because those are the only resources who don't affect feature development, bug fixes, and other resource requirements within RunRev. In a world of finite resources such as we live in, all efforts within an organization imply tradeoffs.
While tutorials are important, their importance relative to the features they would displace differs depending on who you ask. In a world of finite resources that's a practical consideration, one which may help explain priorities to date.
It may be worth noting that different personality types will require different levels of tutorials. Most here on this list have been able to reach competency with the learning materials currently available, while some who might want to learn the product will require more, and others still more, and some will never learn until the learning is delivered in the form of pill or something else that requires no active effort. :)
Somewhere among all these personality types there's a point of diminishing returns. No matter how good the tutorials, there are only so many people in the gene pool with sufficient interest to do scripting, let alone learn it. It's possible to go broke chasing after other horses with a bucket of water who simply aren't thirsty.
I agree we're not at the point of diminishing returns yet. But as we request RunRev to displace feature development in favor of supplimental learning tools we should be mindful of the implications, and choose an appropriate balance.
