Once again I have stayed up WAY to late working on things that interest me. But my pain is your gain and now I am happy to announce the first ever Hello World tutorial for SproutCore!
I am sure there are horrible mistakes in this thing that I will regret in the morning but while I slumber you can try it out and send me caustic emails about the terrible mistakes I have made. Or more likely, you will learn a thing or two about SproutCore.
Seriously though, please give it a look over…follow the direction and let me know what you think!
Thanks a lot of the tutorial. That makes everything make a lot more sense. Here are my notes:
1.2 - You forgot tell us to “cd hello_world”
2.2 - should be at least from what is generated when version 0.9.2 of the gem is installed.
Would the preferred means of getting data from a server side application be to just call a REST web service that returns a JSON object from inside a SproutCore controller?
Mike,
I was wondering the same thing on 2.2
OK I have updated both parts of the text with notes to make them clearer. Sorry the notes look so ugly right now; we are getting the CSS fixed.
Mike: You generally will retrieve JSON via Ajax to populate your app. REST is not required but always a good idea. Controllers are the place where this usually happens. There are some facilities built into the model layer for SproutCore that can help you with this, but it is not fully documented yet. I’m working on that for 1.0.
