SproutCore Todo Tutorial

This tutorial will take you through the complete process of building a SproutCore application and an associated back end to go along with it. It is designed for developers new to SproutCore who have worked through at least the Hello World tutorial on the main SproutCore site.

Before You Begin

IMPORTANT: This tutorial is designed for use with SproutCore 1.0 alpha or later. Follow these instructions to install SproutCore 1.0

Make sure you have your basic development environment setup. You will need:

  • A web browser with dev tools installed. We recommend Safari 4 Beta or later with the Develop menu turned on or Firefox with Firebug.
  • A command line. (Like Terminal on the Mac)
  • Your favorite text editor (We like TextMate with the SproutCore.tmbundle installed)
