How about putting together better documentation. In particlar - Give examples.
I suspect alot of CCS users out there would agree. In particular resolving addressabilty would help.
Until Documentation gets better. CCS can ***NOT*** be considered for medium scale to large scale applications. Only small applications where there is less risk involved in the maintenace support.
CCS should also only be considered for an IDE of an application that has little customized code.
The lack of solid documentaion is the single major pitfall of this application.
Adding and maintaing cutom code increases the maintenance time due to the lack of documentation.
When you can quickly put together a page and have it 95% working makes this a tremendous application. When the additional 5% of customized code takes 5 - 10 Times as long as the 95% of the page took. This brings this application way down.
If you are going to require much customiztion of code in the events. You will want to consider using a straight editor (any editor even notepad).
A solid programmer can develop just as fast an editor as it take a stupedously long amoung of time digging through the documentation and then going about a trial and error method trying to figure out how to get something to work.

I know that Yes Software are getting new doco prepared.
I would like to know if there are some budding authors who would like to write a CCS book. The community grows every day and a "CCS for Dummies" as well as "Professional CCS" book would have been high on my Christmas List.
If you can't get Yes Software to finish the doco (let's face it - doco is very, very expensive to create / maintain and publish) then I am asking if a commercial party would step in.

Basic ideas behind CCS are very good and it could be a very good product, but the documentation is in a dazzlingly poor state even for a mature developer you still have to wade into CCS implantations to do the every day things you need to.
It’s still got some pretty serious bugs as well and often fails to bind and falls over hard, in the month or so of using it I’ve had to find quite large number of work arounds just to finish a test project.
Without going on to much, I find multiple language programming a little annoying to say the least, I can’t understand why JSCRIPT has not been offered as a server as well as client programming choice.
Most if not all client based coding will be in jscript why not on the server as well? It’s
An excellent scripting language well supported and quite oopie in nature, it would appear to be a natural to use it for client and server based code using the ASP object model.

Due to the crappy documentation I am spending WAY TOO MUCH TIME trying to figure out how to do things.
Generating the various supplied applications - than debugging the supplied applications to get them to run.
Will I continue with CCS - Yes I've got too much time invested in it to scrap it now.
Would I recommend CCS -NO. CCS is BETA and a very rough BETA at that
I hope the next release comes with some better documentation (YES Software there are people who write documentation THEY ARE CALLED TECH WRITERS - I sure hope the next release is a PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT!).
