Cheat sheet

[AF]

I'd find it helpful if we had a cob\lua cheat sheet, like the ones we see in web design for jquery or various CSS frameworks, with the majority of the API in sections on a single A4 sheet

A reformatting of the relevant wiki entries?

Go google jquery cheat sheet, it's a significant proportion of the jquery API, the most important parts, reformatted to fit on a single A4 page, simplyreformatting the wiki documentation would not be helpful, especially when there are already complaints that the wiki documentation is ambiguous and intimidating to new users.

Realize that cheat sheets and wiki documentation do not have the same information nor the same purpose

Hello, don't condescend to me. When you do that I, like say Licho, lose all desire to complete this or that.

You would never reuse the wiki entries as written simply because they are written poorly, and as a result I felt rewrite and consolidate were implied elements of 'reformatting'.

That guide is great. I would just like to see some more examples.

Realism is not condescension, and it's fitting that the attitude of taking negative criticism and handling it is lost upon your own works, especially when I am not the first person to say it.

Your post suggested you didn't know what I was on about so I explained, if you decided to attach a malicious or prejudiced tone to the text then there's not much I can do about that

If you had stopped to think about who you were talking with you would have realized that I wouldn't have responded to the thread without the requisite knowledge, and that my query was simply seeking clarification as to the best source of the data one would use to write a guide sheet. I spend more than enough time in running a business and writing freelance taking useful criticism, and I know that positive or negative between peers seldom involves telling people to "realize" something.

Your still not listening

Being realistic != telling someone to realise something

I'm not spying on your every waking moment, nor have you made a big thread describing all your qualifications, I only had your post to go on, and as a moderator I do not appreciate your derailing my thread and being provocative

[Neddie]

I am listening, or more accurately, reading.

You requested or suggested the creation of a cheat sheet, I queried in relation to the source of the necessary information, you told me to learn what a cheat sheet was and to realize that it differed from the source I referred to, I told you that your response was unnecessary and irksome as I know the difference, you sidestepped into a critique of my inability to take critique when no relevant critique had been introduced - using realism as a foil, and I told you that your "critique" was again irrelevant and put poorly.

Now, last, you've told me that I'm not listening, that your use of realistic and realize should be in some way separated, and that you do not know what I can do - seemingly to excuse your earlier statements or to dismiss my criticism thereof.

There is one thing we do agree on, however - this is a derailment and should cease to be so. Thus...

Thank you for the thoughtful link to such a stellar example. This seems to mirror some of the chemistry and biology sheets I have done for my day job in the past. If somebody else wishes to write this, I wish them well, but I may start a sheet on this common model during my lunch break. Perhaps two separate sheets, one for cob and one for lua, would be in order?

Here, slapped this together during my lunch break. Source information from the wiki and SpliFF's guide. This is just a placeholder, feel free to make something better.
