Developers, developers, developers… Part I

Any Operating System can be considered good and used when the developers are interested in developing apps for it. For this to happen, developers must see benefits of using such a new platform to learn and code.
eyeOS is a very strong platform to develop rich Web Applications from scratch, with or without a desktop as background to work: the developer can forget HTML, JavaScript, AJAX… and user management, base security and lots of other things, by letting eyeOS take care of all this and center the efforts to create the application itself, like if it was a desktop one.
For this reason, the whole eyeOS Team is working hard on provide every developer the needed tools to discover the power of the eyeOS core and Toolkit and to start programming on it, with a strong development community behind.
The first step (and it’s just the “Part I” of a serie) is the new eyeOS Documentation Centre , a new platforw which does provide reference and documentation for every system part: Widgets, Services, Libraries and Kernel.
The new Documentation Centre (which can be accessed from doc.eyeos.org) has been created using eyeOS. The Documentation Centre itself is formed by eyeOS Applications, after removing the Desktop layer. Of course, you can download its source (released as Open Source) and create your Documentation Centre with it. You will find download links and information on the Centre’s homepage.

Wow. That’s pretty sweet! Any chance on getting newer widgets, like the Toolbar and Progress Bar, shown there, too?

Nice doc!
But under Opera I can’t see the right panel! The space remains empty.
Works well in Firefox, as usual.

Great Documentation system !!!
Just a detail… it seems it integrates a “search engine”. As you said it is based on eyeOS, could we expect a “search engine” (eyeSearch) in eyeOS ?

We need an IDE!

The Centre has been updated! It now works flawlessly on Opera. The next steps are to update all the documentation.
By the way, the widget Toolbar is in the Centre, although the ProgressBar will be soon there
