MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org There is lots of documentation online and it is in the process of being improved. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Documentation+Index Most of the books you can buy are up to date. There is a good book by Ruth Hoffman for development. OFBiz Develope's Course Workbook. Apache OFBiz Development by Jonathon Wong, Rupert Howell seemed a bit older but it covers FTL and has info on entity. I do not have the latest Cookbook so can not comment on how up to dat eit is. I have an older copy and it has great coverage of how to do this and that, so if ther is a specific project it covers it would be worth the cost. I did my development for like 2 months before I bought books. I bought all that are out there and it was not more than 500.00. Some are more for users than developers. Sharon Foga has one on Accounting I like, and one on MRP. Ruth has one on eCommerce. I was able to use PostgreSQL so it does support many databases as you pointed out. There are many great tutorials by Hotwax and on the main documentation. I believe I found at least three online that walked you through development of a hot deploy project, and I think Hotwax released another that looked good, so there is plenty of free help. We are using it to add inventory control to a Point of sale system written in ruby. I highly recommend OFBiz as it is well thought out. The building blocks provided give an excellent Java stack (can be deployed on windows, and Linux very easy and other platforms that support java). It has freemarker, and groovy built in. The entity engine is robust. I have found it an excellent environment to do our development in. ----- Joel Fradkin -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Re-Who-uses-OFBiz-tp4656544p4656546.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
