Yep, we can always use more tutorials and other "on-boarding" material.

I personally have not worked too much on that because I think for right now, my 
energy is best spent on making sure that the code actually works.  It seems 
that most folks don't have the experience and time to work on that.  I think 
that there are more folks, including you, who are capable of writing small bits 
of documentation and examples and could help us build up that set of material.

One thing about Royale is that there is no one set of UI widgets that you must 
use.  I think that's good in that you are not locked into using MX or Spark or 
in Royale's case, the Basic components or Jewel.  You can use Jquery, CreateJS, 
Material Design Lite.  You can wrap any existing JS framework that has a 
procedural API, and probably others if you really wanted to.  Royale is really 
in the business of creating a software developer workflow for assembling chunks 
of JavaScript together.  But that makes it harder for generating 
getting-started materials because there are multiple paths you can get started 
on.

Right now, I am focused on the Emulation Components that are intended to mimic 
MX and Spark components in Flex in order to lower the effort of migrating from 
Flex to Royale.  It won't be 100% backward compatible, but should be much less 
rewriting than porting to other JS frameworks.

Here is a link to Tour De Flex migrated to Royale with relatively few changes:
http://apacheroyaleci.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com:8080/job/TourDeFlexMigration/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/examples/mxroyale/tourdeflexmodules/bin/js-debug/index.html

Only  the MX/Visual Components/General Controls have been seen to run (except 
ColorPicker), but I'm finishing up LineChart right now.  The demo may break at 
times and the visuals are not tuned up, but it will give you an idea of what is 
possible.  We just need more folks to contribute.  Anyone who contributes helps 
lower the cost of migrating for everyone else.  If we get lots of people 
pitching in, it is like having a large team to migrate your app.

    I just checked the Apache Royale web site and seems good (comparing to my
    last visit a long time ago).
    Still many "TODO" pages.
    
    By change, I tried the starting IntelliJ and a TODO page.
    However I see that the others IDE's already have a start page, but I don't
    use Flash Builder (for many years now), Visual Studio Code it's not a IDE
    and I would not go thru Moonshine (I don't want to see me there), so I will
    try with Visual Studio Code the tutorial.
    
    I checked the mailing list (for the very first time) and surprisingly seems
    to be very active).
    
    I definitively will try later to build a sample use case.
    
    I know that this is a community project (and that a strong point on my
    opinion), however I continue to think that an important peace is messing: A
    lot of tutorials and sample starting projects.
