The biggest problem I have with tutorials (in general) is that most only focus on the task at hand, and leave you clueless if the off-topic parts of the tutorial are quick-and-dirty implementations, or still best-practises. If you cut corners in a tutorial, you should state that, and point readers where to find info on doing it right. I decided to try and not cut any corners. There was no megrok.layout tutorial, so I decided to incorporate it, otherwise I would have referred to it.</div><div>Maybe it makes this tutorial a bit 'heavy',
indeed.</div><div><br></div><div>The big picture of the tutorial was (more or less): explain how to do some typical YUI use-cases the Grok way: Reset/Grid, a menu, getting data asynchronously, sending data async, using JSON.</div><div>Thanks for the remarks!</div><div><br><div>----- Original Message ----<br>From: Roger Erens <roger.erens@e-s-c.biz><br>To: Jeroen Michiel <jmichiel@yahoo.com><br>Cc: Sebastian Ware <sebastian@urbantalk.se>; grok-doc@zope.org<br>Sent: Tue, 30 March, 2010 19:21:14<br>Subject: Re: [Grok-doc] Volunteering for a YUI tutorial<br><br>Hi Jeroen,<br><br>Thanks for having solved the buidout issues.

I'm still not yet clear about a<br>few things in part 1; can you enlighten me?<br><br>1)<br>Below the code for 'style.css' you mention that a basic Grid has been<br>created. Is it?

'creating a basic grid'.<br><br>2)<br>Then you mention megrok.resource, but this module is not used at all<br>in part 1. Or is it?
