Places to Get Started with SDL Tridion GUI Extensions

I was asked today how the PowerTools group learned about the client-side API (aka Anguilla) for SDL Tridion 2011 GUI extensions. Much of the PowerTools base functionality was created by key members like Peter Kjaer and Albert Romkes with input from several contributors as described in June 2012 and February 2013 Tridion Community Webinars.

Others (mostly Robert Curlette) have written extensive guides and examples for SDL Tridion GUI Extensions, specifically covering the entire setup.

In addition to the API docs, be sure to check out some additional examples from the community.

• Coding Guidelines for the SDL Tridion 2011 PowerTools with some Anguilla examples
• Snippets on the Tridion Cookbook
• Intellisense with JavaScript and the Core dlls
• Some JavaScript development tips on PowerTools

In case you’re also looking for Core Service examples, check out a Core Service client example on Yet Another Tridion Blog.

Sometimes I forget that although we have much more Tridion information online, sometimes it's missing a curated touch and context. Have any other useful guides or examples you'd like to share? Leave a comment or better yet, share your thoughts, insights, or examples.
