Are there any good tutorials on this with quartz composer? Not just source code? I'm new to quartz composer and I haven't found good information on it. Specifically tutorials on reading databases, xml, etc...
You'll need the source code stuff (to build/install the plugin, at least), but after that the only source code you'll need will possibly be Javascript in QC.
For tutorials, see the following: * https://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Conceptual/QuartzComposerUserGuide/qc_tutorial/qc_tutorial.html* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Composer#Tutorials_and_Documentation (visit the tutorials, some may be helpful)
* http://www.quartzcompositions.com/phpBB2/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page * http://vimeo.com/channels/kinemetutorials (a few videos)Otherwise, documentation's a bit sparse. Your best bet is to spend some time poking at it, asking questions (specific questions!) on this list, and finding sample compositions (there are lots of samples at kineme.net, not necessarily tutorials but you can learn a lot from them anyway).
Reading data depends upon the structure of your database, and what you want to do with it. Here's an example composition that'll show you the number of rows returned from a particular quest of a particular database (you'll have to supply the query and the database, as I don't have any handy):
