Nov 5, 2012 at 17:06 comment added Ian You could reword it to make it "compliant", but perhaps people could just answer where they think each of the WP technologies now fit and if any are now obsolete. I'm as baffled as the next man and I installed the SDK at the weekend.
Nov 5, 2012 at 16:48 comment added Robert Oschler @maple_shaft- Personal opinion of course but I think the keyword "tutorials" and the semantics of "what tech should I learn next" from the FAQs are being applied too literally here. If my question was strictly of that nature then I would understand your desire to close, but my question at its heart is a very technical and rather specific question about which UI interface library is the correct one out of a confusing plethora of choices. That's not quite the same query as a novice user wondering what to do next with the general topic of programming.
Nov 5, 2012 at 15:34 comment added MarkJ +1 But I expect the question may be closed, unfortunately.

Removed other 2 questions that would likely cause this question to get closed again as they were asking for tutorials/resources and what to learn

Nov 5, 2012 at 12:48 comment added maple_shaft You are correct that the site was originally created with the intention of these kinds of questions in mind, but shortly after inception the site went through a major scope change. Questions about tutorials or resources on canonical questions or questions that are highly common don't benefit the site or the internet at large, as a quick google search will come up with pages of valid results. More specialized technologies are more appropriate or questions that evoke quality answers with explanations rather than everybody posting their favorite tool/book/tutorial with no context.

Nov 5, 2012 at 4:05 comment added Robert Oschler @maple_shaft. It is my understanding that the sentiment you are imposing is correct for Stack Oveflow but not here; that this site was created to support those kinds of questions since SO does not: programmers.stackexchange.com/search?q=tutorials
Nov 5, 2012 at 2:00 comment added maple_shaft Questions about what technology to learn next and also questions requesting learning materials or tutorials are off topic on Programmers. If you have more specific questions about specific frameworks that you have in mind then please post back. For more information read the FAQ
