Using SproutCore: Demo App
June 19, 2008 at 14:37 Though sproutcore has been around for some time, there is not much going around as far as examples source code is concerned. This might change soon as a couple of guys are setting themselves out to produce a complete demo with source code, screen cast and all.
In the mean time though, I wanted to look at sample code to get going. Looking around on google I didn't find anything. I found what I was looking for in an unexpected place: the sproutcore gem!
It turns out that the sproutcore documentation is also a sproutcore application and makes use of many of the common cocoa/sproutcore idioms. In my opinion, it's as good a place to start as another and is available today. Just take a look at the code within the sproutcore gem.

Better yet, I've just noticed that there are some sample applications provided here by the creators of Sproutcore.

Wow. I have a suggestion for your next post...
And when I turn the handle water comes out of the faucet.
Thanks for the irony but you don't get it. Sure today it's trivial, at the time it wasn't. This was posted just after WWDC and when you googled "sproutcore" you got squat worth your while with regards to demo code. Except perhaps for the demo apps for which, we had no source code (or none easily accessible). In less than a month there has been quite a lot going on with sproutcore. Today you will find much more relevant posts for developers than then. With hindsight it's always easier...
