Hi guys; I'm not a devil advocate and I'm not employed by Temenos either, but...
Quotes: " a platform where the documentation sucks " "documentation (which prior to v5 has been useless and I haven't seen v5 docs yet)," All this is true; recently I took a humble (about 50%) participance in an attempt to revive the very old "jBASE basic.pdf"... The results are here: http://jbc.temenos.com There is certain set of introduction chapters that might help beginners I believe. Actually it's not officially adopted by Temenos (despite the hosting); it's just a mirror of an "open-source" documentation - original is at Github: https://github.com/temenos/jbc-language/ Alexander Demin posted here an announcement some time ago but I afraid it went mostly unnoticed because he mentioned "T24-related mostly"... no, it's not. Most examples are pure jBASE. Tale a look guys. Regards, V.K. On May 23, 7:50 pm, "Tony Gravagno" <e09kp5...@sneakemail.com> wrote: > From: Kevin Powick > > > Many such people are respectful.
