Did you check out the Doodles screencast: http://vimeo.com/1968472
in all of this?
MrHaw <-> Didn’t know it existed, again if you know its great but if you don’t - it means nada to anyone...
Splittingred <-> many thanks for the link, I know what I’ll be reading over tonight...
Opengeek <-> Don’t take my comments the wrong way, I love modx, I love the way you are improving the framework (evo felt a little hackish at best) and I really want to begin developing packages for the community through items I develop hopefully for clients.
As part of that I will do my best to write up the stages I go through in attempting to build my first package and will send it in to you guys to read, rewrite and generally have a good laugh at the code and documentation - and call me the pot for calling you the kettle
All the best and I look forward to many more chats and discussions over the next few weeks - my package needs to be functioning in 5-6 weeks time - arrrrrgggh !
Nothing like pressure to add to the excitement !
Also just a small addition - this is the kind of thing I am trying to get across (without sounding whiney or nooobish):
