Corona SDK documentation getting worse.

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hello. One of the reasons that made me choose Corona over other competitors, such as Gideros, and etc, was it’s easy to understand documentation, and good samples, included on it.

But in the latest days, I have been noticing, that they are a lot changed, and most times, does not includes a simple sample, where I can just read the code, without having to download it from github or another source. There is a lot of pages of documentation that does not include good samples. I thing this started after, graphics 2.0 update, but not sure…

Same examples of the poor documentation quality:

http://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/plugin/ads-admob/#ads.initplugin.ads-admob.init

http://docs.coronalabs.com/daily/plugin/playhaven/

http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/native/showAlert.html (Where is callback information?)

Please, Corona staff, see this as a positive feedback.

A good programming language also needs a good documentation, and corona is that.

When you find docs that are wrong, incomplete, etc., be *sure* and use the feedback link at the bottom of that documentation page. I know from experience that CL people look for those and take action. I’ve seen it happen multiple times.

Yes, it would be nice if we didn’t have to bother, but until utopia arrives it’s the fastest way I’ve seen to improve the docs. :slight_smile:
