Lazybook of xPDO : Chapter 1 published

Hello to all xPDO fans and users. First chapter of Lazybook of xPDO has been published.

The chapter will talk through most of XML Schema elements, attributes and how they can enhance your xPDO applications behavior.

To read more, please do visit http://lazylegs.info/lazybook-of-xpdo/

Am starting to scrape material for next chapter which most likely will be "humongous" chapter about xPDOQuery

Great start lazylegs. I look forward to seeing more.

Looks good, thanks. It would be good if you could give an intro on the benefits of xPDO over SQL. I'm reasonably fluent in SQL and I'm happy to write complex select statements and have avoided xPDO so far.

That's good general information for all xPDO/MODX users IMO, so I wrote a quick blog post on the subject and posted a topic to collect what other folks think the benefits of using xPDO over SQL might be.

Wow - I'm flattered by the effort you put into the response, thanks!

I'm now pondering whether my question was a good question, worthy of a dedicated blog post, or a crap question that drove you into a wild frenzy because you couldn't believe my naivety

Don't worry; it was a good question that has been asked many times. And I just needed some fresh content on my site...
