Where are developers supposed to get support when developing Ubuntu touch
software?

I am using Ubuntu 14.10 and the most up todate SDK I am having an
incredibly frustrating time trying to write even the simplest of apps. I
understand QML, C++ and some javascript. I've been writing software using
Qt for almost 10 years so i thought developing Ubuntu apps would be fun.

When i want to find information I go to the Ubuntu SDK
https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04/ and look through the
documentation. The trouble is the documentation is lacking any real content
and examples. Many of the links are dead and simply ask the user to file a
bug report.

Many of the examples don't work with the latest SDK and many start with:

import QtQuick 2.4
import Ubuntu.Components 1.2

These don’t seem to be available in the SDK?

I posted to IRC many times and never got a reply and i really don't know
where to turn.

There are probably 1000's of people like myself that are eager to get
involved with Ubuntu but don't know how to get started, can't get the
support they need and eventually give up.

Where are non-canonical employees supposed to look for help / support?

Thanks,

Dan
