In a recent interview with Hyperion Software, we're told that Olaf "Olsen" Barthel is working on new ROM Kernal Reference Manuals for AmigaOS 4.0! [The "RKRM" books are the official and prime development documentation/tutorial for AmigaOS developers] As some readers of Amiga Network News may already know, Mr Barthel has previously compiled the Amiga Developer's CD.

You're a typical short-sighted Amiga wanker who needs to die.
I have developed for quite a few years on AmigaOS (in 68k assembler), and yes, AmigaGuide was good in it's day, but something better for modern systems is needed. Have you ever even used MSDN ? 0r CHTML based SDK references ? No ? Then shut up.
AmigaGuide does not have embedded pictures. It does not have a good search function. It does not have support for web/file links. There are many things it does not have that modern formats like CHTML and PDF do.
As for PDF, well PDF is cumbersome for development docs, since as this is pretty much what Apple provide thier SDK docs as. I prefer CHTML or plain old HTML - CHTML just has the advantage of being a compound file with an index that is easily searchable. |
