Thanks for the reply. I will check out the resources. My question was triggered because I was running into issues with part two of the tutorial. It turns out I typed "textarea.setPlaceHolder" instead of "textarea.setPlaceholder". The qooxdoo inspector did not show a problem so I thought I just made a major mistake somewhere. I also have to spend some time learning how to debug javascript. it seems to be a lot more involved than python. Firebug is a bit overwhelming.
