Kanso Guides

Getting Started

Installation and a gentle introduction to the Kanso framework. In this tutorial you'll create a simple blog app and learn how to use the Kanso admin interface.

How Kanso Processes Requests

Sharing Code With Views

As of CouchDB 1.1.0, its possible to share modules between your view functions and your normal application code. This guide explains the process of adding shared modules to a Kanso project.

Working With Data

How to load existing data into CouchDB and create initial documents for your app using Kanso's pushdata and data tranform commands.

Writing Guides

One of the best ways to give back to the Kanso project is to help others get started. You don't have to be an expert, you just need to have learned something that should be better documented.
