Even after months of using AppForge, we still find ourselves coming back to the samples to review code snippets. In addition, there is a comprehensive tutorial that is nicely organized into lessons that cover almost all aspects of AppForge development.
The AppForge Developers Sector is an online resource that contains documentation, the knowledge base, and a code library. The knowledge base contains bug reports, fixes, and other technical articles. Of course, it is searchable. The code library contains example applications and techniques posted by both AppForge and members of the development community.
