Weekend Reading: New Documentation

Along with the <a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/blog/index.cfm/2008/8/18/Released-ColdFuson-on-Wheels-Version-08">0.8 release of Wheels</a> came a whole slew of new chapters in our <a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs">Documentation</a>. If you were looking into learning a little bit more about the framework over the weekend, the <a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs">Docs</a> are a great place to start. <!--more--> For those of you who have been following along since before 0.8, here's what's new: <ul> <li><a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs/chapter/frameworks-and-wheels">Frameworks and Wheels</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs/chapter/obfuscating-urls">Obfuscating <abbr title="Uniform Resource Locator">URLs</abbr></a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs/chapter/event-handlers">Event Handlers</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs/chapter/column-statistics">Column Statistics</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs/chapter/dynamic-finders">Dynamic Finders</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs/chapter/getting-paginated-data">Getting Paginated Data</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs/chapter/displaying-links-for-pagination">Displaying Links for Pagination</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.cfwheels.com/docs/chapter/switching-environments">Switching Environments</a></li> </ul> All other chapters are updated for 0.8 as well. As for the future of documentation, here are some of my hopes and dreams: <ul> <li>Documentation at the function level for the Wheels <abbr title="Application Programming Interface">API</abbr> (which is done for the most part... I just need to get it formatted and on the site!)</li> <li>A better navigation system for the Docs themselves</li> <li>A "Livedocs" format akin to <a href="http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/index.html">how Adobe does it</a></li> </ul> Please <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/cfwheels">let us know</a> if we're not clear about something in the Docs or if you have any ideas!
