[Adobe-source-devel] Interest in ASL

[Robert D. <rcd...@gm...>]

I've been very interested in using ASL for an open source project of mine,
however I am having an extreme difficulty learning how to use it. I have
read as much documentation as possible on the ASL website but it seems very
incomplete to me. The Eve grammar (in the scripting language) is very
cryptic and inconsistent to me and very hard to learn/follow. This
page<http://stlab.adobe.com/group__eve__reference.html>is all I've
been able to find in regards to documentation for the scripting
language. Is there any detailed documentation outlining syntax (What each
operator does, etc)? What exactly is the best approach to learning Adam &
Eve?

The concepts "Sheets" and "Cells" are also very confusing. When I hear these
2 words my first thought is a spreadsheet, and I have no idea how they
relate. The documentation itself is very technical and isn't a good warmup
for beginners to the library. I need something "dummified" that makes it
easy to understand how ASL works (Analogies/Examples).

My head is spinning right now, so I hope someone can help point me in the
right direction.
