Hi folks
As a newcomer to the AOL/Tcl/Postgres scene, I am impressed by the
general level of documentation. But the one big gap seems to be a
tutor on good style using this combination. They are clearly elegant
tools, but there is a steep learning curve facing anyone seeking to
make the most of their power.
The Tcl for Web Geeks tutor is very useful, but leaves much unsaid. I
suspect the best learning tool with be a review of the ACS code
itself, but this is the hard way to do things. I suspect that a good
tutorial would encourage more people into the ACS community, and
would give more people the confidence to begin to contribute to the
ACS codebase.
I had a quick chat with Ben about this, and he suggested I put the
idea to the community. If anyone has something in the works, or if
anyone would be prepared to take this on, I would do what I can to
help (I am quite experienced as an author and editor of training
materials). They do say that the best way to learn something is to
write about it...
