Weekend Reading: New Documentation

Along with the 0.8 release of Wheels came a whole slew of new chapters in our Documentation. If you were looking into learning a little bit more about the framework over the weekend, the Docs are a great place to start. For those of you who have been following along since before 0.8, here’s what’s new:

• Frameworks and Wheels
• Obfuscating URLs
• Event Handlers
• Column Statistics
• Dynamic Finders
• Getting Paginated Data
• Displaying Links for Pagination
• Switching Environments

All other chapters are updated for 0.8 as well. As for the future of documentation, here are some of my hopes and dreams:

• Documentation at the function level for the Wheels API (which is done for the most part… I just need to get it formatted and on the site!)
• A better navigation system for the Docs themselves
• A “Livedocs” format akin to how Adobe does it

Please let us know if we’re not clear about something in the Docs or if you have any ideas!
