Yes, I've investigated that site; it doesn't seem terribly fruitful.
Perhaps I'm not clicking the right links? I'm looking for a few things
that I don't currently see, like
- Code snippets for all the UNO API language bindings.
I see a few, for the likes of Java, OOBasic, and ooRexx, but they
harken back to 2.0 and 1.1 days. Further, Since the API has multiple
language bindings, I'm looking for more than just those 3. For
instance, I see barely six examples for CPP, six for Python, etc.
- Complete object and method listing.
One of the things I currently lack is the grander idea of what I can
do with the API. Generically I understand that it's a lot, but I
don't know how to access most of it.
- Complete, self-contained code examples.
There are above-mentioned code snippets, perhaps, but complete,
downloadable examples that show off a particular functionality would
be incredibly useful.
I'm trying to ascertain what resources are available to me while I hack
away at LO, and "just" those three items would be tremendous. Do these
exist?
Thanks,
Kevin
