Re: How about a release?
I am breaking my own rule, I said I was done commenting but I after reading the thread since my last post a couple of thoughts have come to mind.
- I purchased A5 for a purpose and I hope it meets that goal. I am simply suggesting something that is drilled into every person who writes code, documentation is important.
- I generally know what I want software to do. If we are working in .Net I have a vast deep pool of resources. I for one think the MS model for VS help is pretty good. If I am working in the form class I can find form event, properties and methods pretty quickly. I can find the namespace and sample syntax. It even tells me which versions of framework its applicable.
Now I dont find that same experience when I go into A5 help. As I said earlier those who have invested into A5 (again I am such a person) are dependent on Alpha as the sole source of documentation. When I go to that documentation, even though it literally thousands of pages, it has been tough sledding to find what I need. You can lay the fault of the hard to use documentation at my feet if you want, but there have been enough comments that I hope the documentation gets attention in future releases.
Whether Alpha will see it as a priority I dont know. Until I will carry on learning A5 using the resource I have available.
