I have used Infragistics components for winforms since long time ago, during those years I learned a lot by the hard way: browsing the web. It's the hard way because there are too much to read, sometimes it is related to other versión of components, or the examples are for technology that we don't use (JavaScript vs Razor for example). Usually the architecture of the components is obscure, you have to read a lot to try understand the minimun. Sometimes the examples provided are unclear. And so on. It would be good if people at Infragistics makes things a little easier for developers who just want to make the thing works by providing examples with clear, unambiguous explanations and focuse on the technology we want (for example MVC with Razor). Your components are great, but hard to understand for the average developer. Publishing an ebook with examples like "XYZ for Dummies" style would make our life better. ;)

    Luis,

    Thank you for the honest feedback. Believe it or not, we are trying to help folks in your situation, and we know we have room to improve. :) 

    For Ignite UI in particular, which I think is what you're working with now based on your mention of MVC with Razor, we are making numerous specific improvements to our overall docs experience, making the docs that we do have easier to discover, improving our infrastructure so that we can publish more docs more regularly, as well as always looking for specific areas of improvement and augmentation. 

    Just so you (and others) will know what we do have today, I'll share these resources:

    • IgniteUI.com/getting-started - IgniteUI.com in general is probably the best place for getting up to speed on that product. It has samples that cover most features, and each sample links to related API docs and help topics. 
    • Ignite UI Docs - these are the help topics we have currently for the product.
    • Ignite UI API Docs
    • Fundamentals of Ignite UI series on YouTube - not 100% up to date, but most of the info is still good and overall is a good way to get familiar with developing using that product.

    Despite all of this, we do recognize that we do have areas for improvement, and I welcome specific suggestions (like your ebook one) as well as any info on what you wanted to see but couldn't find.

    Thanks again for the feedback!
