Additional information for new projects!

Dear Amber developers,

I followed the README doc for setting up an environment, and it works. OK good, step one accomplished!

So, OK, I see the boilerplate text: "This is a sample app. ...." etc and so on.

Ideally, I think the sample text itself should tell me where it is. Which instance and method is being executed? I don't know, because it's only been like 28 years since I played with Smalltalk. So tell me.

It's not in the package based on the project name (which is where I'd expect it to be).

Where is it? (The "This is a sample app" text should tell me!). I'm blocked until I know this.

Thanks,

Rob

Re: Additional information for new projects!

Thank you for your prompt reply. And, of course, index.html is the primary landing page. Just found this, just as I saw your reply.

Now I try to wrap my head around using it!

The main entry point that actually does some work is, as you may have already found out, the "augmentPage" method.

It does precisely that: augments the loaded page. The philosophy behind this, you can have actually some content loaded in the HTML itself, and augmentPage brings into life (you can of course start with empty page and build everything yourself).

So look into index.html.
