Hi, Chris.
I don't know of any other tutorials besides those from Solar site.
What worked for me was to duplicate and play with the main application
that comes with Solar, the Bookmarks app, to build my own.

Another nice app to follow is the "Aqua Music Database" [1] from our
friend Antti, and I think it may be interesting because it uses a more
common model approach (it was hard for me to understand the "content"
model concept which drives the Bookmarks app).

Unfortunately Aquamdb was not updated to Solar 0.25 until some time
ago, but it really needs few changes to work with 0.25 and if you are
interested we can tell you what is needed.

cheers,
rodrigo
