Absolutely. There are lots of examples, but they are more illustrative
rather than functional stuff you can turn around. It has been a real debate
how to approach examples, because we have followed the example path of
trying to demonstrate API X use across all environments we support, rather
than digging into what's best for each specific platform (and that varies
widely between PHP and Rev, just as an example).

We've been concentrating on the big technology additions, but Im hoping to
get more examples done once we get V4, VS Pro beta and Valentina Reports out
the door (real soon now).

We really appreciate William's feedback - its allowed us to really polish
Valentina for Revolution.
