The lack of documentation, especially with respect to how to write Amber applications, is severely restricting newcomers (like myself) who want to try out Amber. There are no decent tutorials beyond the trivial "Hello World" or Counter app. Any examples that I've found have been too narrowly focused or specialized. In particular, there is precious little information on how to work with HTML and DOM elements (eg, how to work with forms). Amber seems to rely heavily on jQuery, so if this is the case, the documentation should explain how to go about interfacing with jQuery (and tell the reader that jQuery knowledge is mandatory).
