Updated Wiki: Documentation

The DevForce Application Framework is now better than ever … only now we call itCocktail.

Cocktail removes some of the complexity and obsolete concepts found the DevForce Application Framework and is where we are focusing our development efforts moving forward.

If you've built an application using the DevForce Application Framework, please refer to the Cocktail transition guide to learn how to move your project to Cocktail.

We now consider the DevForce Application Framework to be a legacy framework but we'll continue to host it here in order to support existing applications.

Our Documentation Resource Center contains all of our Cocktail documentation, tutorials, and reference applications.
