BrightScript documentation?
Every real programming language has some sort of online documentation that spells out each function, what it's used for and such like that... Where is brightscripts documentation? and before someone...
Forum Discussion
renojim -- what have I been doing the last 23 years? I've been learning and using real programming languages that far excel over brightscript.. plain and simple....
I've read and re-read the documentation several different times.. I've looked at all the examples... I just got the roku unit from work to take home so now I can try and figure out how to do this 'side-load' thing that is referenced here.. but since that's not in the PDF's either, that will be trial and error I suppose just like everything else associated with the roku
As for not having any specific questions, I've asked a few.. such as why there is no REAL documentation... what the hell all these ro functions are and a few others... But it's okay, I don't expect anyone here to answer my questions. Go ahead and keep pushing the PDF's as the 'higher power' which just completely suck..
So, the forums will be done with me. Since the roku online chat is run by idiots, the developers are idiots that can't support their own language (you haven't seen the emails/responses I've sent/received), and the people here on the forums default to 'read the pdf's...' which again makes you all idiots.
I also never said I couldn't learn from the PDF's, but it sure would make it a lot easier of the people who made the PDFs actually included all the functions... if they actually explained what each function is and does.. what the basic syntax is.. and even commented the examples... so instead of several weeks of trial and error I could jump in and have a channel built in a mere 2-3 hours if the documentation is worth a damn... But, after having read the PDF's over 50 times (every single one of them) over the last 2 weeks I haven't written a single piece of code because the documentation doesn't document anything.. I've said it before, but this documentation is: here is some code... here is more code.. good luck!
So to all of you who praise brightscript and the idiot people who created I'm really sorry that you live in the delusional world that the documentation is even remotely close to 'adequate' what with functions missing from it that are shown in examples but aren't in the PDFs (even with the lack of a description)...
