I have stumbled on Cappuccino (www.cappuccino-project.org), and I don't remember how. What I do remember about that fateful moment is that my employer had wanted me to create a desktop-like environment for our office management system, and I was trying to code the concept from scratch. When I found Cappuccino, I realized that this is exactly what my employer wants, and I don't have to do anything to provide it except for write the back-end, which I would have had to do anyway, when I was creating the UI myself.
Your first stop for all documentation should be at the Cappuccino Project's main website: www.cappuccino-project.org. As wonderful as the product is, I have found it incredibly difficult to find any great educational resources online. Even the tutorials presented on the Cappuccino Project's own website do not demonstrate an understanding for the learner who knows nothing about the Cappuccino environment.
As I delve into my own experiments and carefully tare apart the code and the tutorials for understanding, I will be re-writing a user guide in this blog. This user guide will hopefully provide answers when there are none and order when the organization of ideas at the other resources seems to be lacking. Unless otherwise stated, all material on this site is directly attributed to lessons that I have found at the Cappuccino Project's website, or from deciphering the code they have provided. I will do my best to attribute any help or other concepts that I get when they are not from these two sources.
