SproutCore Book Project Proposal

  • I signed up to help write, and I hope others do as well. It's a shame that the poor documentation is such a barrier preventing Sproutcore's adoption. I was hoping that with the formation of Strobe that things would get better, but they really haven't. Hopefully this effort will be able to bridge that gap.

  • So glad to see this getting tackled at last. SproutCore's lack of decent documentation has been my single biggest difficulty in adopting it.

  • Out of curiosity, were none of the major tech publishers interested in a book on SproutCore?

    I hope it goes as smoothly as they hope, farming out the writing tasks in parallel. I've found it tough to work with just one distributed co-author on a tech book, much less 60.

    I'm working with the Three20 framework for the iPhone, and it suffers from similar documentation problems, though it's gotten better in the last few months.

  • I'm very much hungry for more screencasts, more books, and more Sproutcore tutorials. It's an amazingly powerful framework, but its not easy to learn without some frustration.

    I love this idea, and hope it goes through. I'll definitely be contributing

  • I signed up as an individual sponsor. I really want to read this book. Anyone else?
