Documentation is crucial if we want to get people embracing the technology. Less info on what is inside FlexJS, the purpose and how to use means less people talking about it. I think the most active people here producing code, components, and other parts of the framework has the responsability not only to make a concrete piece of the fraemwork, but document it and provide as much info as possible about conceptualization, use cases, and every thing you could imagine, so other people could take access to the new bits without crashing with a wall and quit.
Any times, the fail of a framework or tech is not due to the quality of the tech itself, is about things like this, documentation, marketing, and so on... 2016-09-08 17:31 GMT+02:00 Christofer Dutz <christofer.d...@c-ware.de>: > I don't quite agree. > > > The problem with FlexJS is that you have to do things differently than > with Flex.
