There are some pieces available, but nothing comprehensive. That's
because of three main reasons:
1) Dabo is being developed by two guys in their spare time. We still
have a lot to work on, so writing documentation means not working on
Dabo. It's a tough balancing act.
2) We are still developing the visual tools that will make it
possible to create an IDE that can integrate all of the pieces
required in your app into one place. Until these are completed, the
only way to really create an app is with code. But in the near
future, that will certainly not be the case.
3) There is no one way to write a Dabo app; it all depends on what
you want to do with it. We have several people using Dabo for GUI-
only apps (no database stuff). There are a lot of people using the
AppWizard to create simple maintenance apps; see http://leafe.com/
screencasts/appwizard.html for an overview of that process. I'm also
working on a new screencast on how to build a form based on the data
environment established by the database connections you have defined.
If I get a chance to do it today, I'll be sure to post a notice here.
Finally, there are several how-tos on the Wiki. Check out http://
dabodev.com/wiki/HowTos for those. Like I said above, these are just
pieces in the overall process of creating an app, but at least they
should give you an idea of the general approach. If you have
questions after that, the best thing is to post them here. We can
certainly answer your questions, and sometimes these questions spur a
round of documentation-writing. Every one of the how-tos on the Wiki
came about because someone asked a good question here, and rather
than send it in an email that many in the future would probably not
find, I wrote up a Wiki page to add to the body of documentation. So
please, ask!
