Uno de los temas a los cuales me costó más entrarle en el mundo de los formularios Adobe de SAP (SAP Interactive forms by Adobe - IFbA) es el de scripting y en particular los diálogos o popups. Me fue bastante difícil conseguir documentación y ejemplos de estos temas. Quizás principal documentación con la que pude contar fue la guía de referencia de javascript y la ayuda online de Adobe, pero definitivamente no encontré documentación en castellano. Esta serie de posts irá dedicada a mostrar en forma sencilla cómo programar diálogos con javascript para principiantes y será seguida de otra serie de posts para desarrolladores experientes. One of the most difficult topics I found when starting with SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe (IFbA) world was scripting and particularly dialogs. In my experience it is very difficult to find documentation and examples of this topic, specially in Spanish. Perhaps the main documentation that I could find was the javascript for Interactive Forms reference and the Adobe online Help, but definitely I couldn’t find anything in Spanish. This post series will be dedicated to demonstrate an easy way of programming dialogs with javascript for beginners. It will be followed by another series for experienced developers.

¿Por qué hay tan poco contenido de SAP en castellano?
Siempre me he preguntado cuál es la razón por la que se encuentra poco contenido en castellano, tanto a nivel de foros como de artículos, blogs y weblogs de SAP. Mientras encontramos miles y miles de notas, artículos, podcasts, etc. en inglés, el contenido en castellano se cuenta en centenas. ¿Será un tema cultural? ¿No nos gusta compartir el conocimiento o no tenemos tiempo para hacerlo? ¿Somos pocos? ¿Cuál es la razón de mayor peso y principalmente, cómo podemos revertirlo y hacer crecer esta comunidad?
