Hi, I started to learn SilverStripe framework with CMS a few days ago and sometimes I feel lost a bit. I go through the doc and tutorials but I have a few more questions.
Where can I find information (doc) about routing, building links, using ajax...?
When I extend LeftAndMain, is it possible to use other forms inside, how..?
Thank you for any information

Hi baduras, yes we are in the process of improving documentation at present. There is some information on routing and the use of customer controllers at http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/controller

If you have further questions please feel free to raise them on the forums or you could try using the IRC channel too.

Hey baduras,

On the topic of extending LeftAndMain, I usually point people to this example from the CMS module: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-cms/blob/3.1/code/controllers/CMSSettingsController.php
