Re: [libreoffice-users] Code snippet

Hi :)
+1
The devs guide is not meant to be elitist but probably needs a re-write from a 
more "normal user" perspective lol.  I'm sure the Documentation Team will work 
on it one day but it's not top priority just yet.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Oh! So I'm not a moron after all. However, I downloaded AndrewMacro.pdf few days 
ago and found Andrew's approach more practical and easier to grasp...and I'm 
approaching UNO and OOo/LibreOffice from python.

The Developers guide is for elitist coders. If the devs wants to attract 
extension development via macro scripting, they should consider making those 
docs more like english language.

Thank You Andrew.

I have a copy of your book back in Texas. I wish I had it here on the
island. I wrote most of the POS system we use in our restaurant by
referencing your book. It's 9000 lines of macro code.

I was up on your web site yesterday and noted that you're putting out a
new edition. I tried wrapping my head around UNO several times and
failed. I just don't get it. I've hit api.openoffice.org trying to make
heads or tails out of what's there, but no joy. The API is an
impenetrable collection of unrelated spare parts as far as I'm
concerned, and I'm a professional programmer (IBM Mainframes & Linux O/S
utilities). I can't seem to get the right approach or frame of mind to
understand the API set and UNO in particular.

That's why I had to ask for help, and you came through.

Thank You.
