This is the NEW official SproutCore wiki. We are currently in the process of migrating TO this wiki from the old wiki at Github. If you would like to add new content, please add it here. In the meantime, pardon our dust as we migrate content to this new structure.
Welcome to the SproutCore Wiki
This wiki contains documentation and training materials on SproutCore and its related components. It is maintained by the community. If you want to edit a page on this wiki, please read the How To Edit the Wiki.

SproutCore Documentation Guidelines
Tutorials
We have tutorials to get you started!
- Hello World - everyone has one. Actually in this one you will build a clock.
- Todos - 0 to full app in just a few minutes. You'll even hook up your app to a real server. Do this to get acclimated to SproutCore.
Reference Documentation
Draft reference documentation is now available! Find it at http://docs.sproutcore.com
This reference documentation is generated automatically from the SproutCore source code. It has not been fully vetted for both technical and formatting errors so expect to find bugs here and there. If you run into trouble, you can always find the original documentation by browsing the SproutCore source directly.
As always, please help make SproutCore better by enhancing the documentation! If you find an area lacking, just grab the SproutCore source and add the docs yourself.
Programming Guides
Programming guides contain the official documentation for how to use the SproutCore API and Build Tools in your project. This material is currently under heavy development and reflects the SproutCore 1.0 API.
| 01 The Basics |
Get introduced to the basics of writing a large-scale desktop-class application using SproutCore along with general programming practices that will make your applications smaller, more manageable and more responsive.
|
| 02 Runtime |
The runtime provides property observing, bindings, and a basic object model help you keep the various states of your application in sync without writing glue code. They also form the basis of many higher level API's in SproutCore. |
| 03 DataStore |
The DataStore is the new model layer API provided in SproutCore 1.0. Learn how to model your data, connect it with the server and manage changes to your model across your application. |
| 04 Views |
Views provide a comprehensive framework for building and managing the user interface in your application, with built in support for keyboard control, drag and drop, focus management, drawing and more. |
| 05 Build Tools |
Learn how to use the SproutCore build tools to prepare your application for production and how to customize them to fit your needs. |
| 06 Unit Testing |
Use SproutCore's built-in unit testing features to improve the quality of your code and to make it easier to maintain. |
| 07 Doctools |
Documenting your code will make it easier for you or others to maintain your code over time. Learn everything you need to know about using SproutCore's built-in Doctools in your own code. |
| 08 Deployment |
Learn the best practices for deploying SproutCore applications along with any backend technology you might use. |
| 08 JavaScript Style Guide |
It's not just what you say, it's how you say it! Learn JavaScript style conventions that make your code both more readable and maintainable. |

Hehe, no, luckily not :)
There are two main sources at the moment, one being this wiki and the other is the #sproutcore IRC channel on freenode.

I assume by and large any links to random dudes' blogs that are hidden in random text should probably be deleted? I pulled a couple out just now.
