  1. Hi there, stumbled across your patterns site. Looks cool and very useful, but I don’t see that much code released yet. Are you guys going to release the code for this widget any time soon?

  2. I agree, sample code is almost a requirement for those unfamiliar with the API.

  3. Yes, actually there is a plan to get tabs out soon. But I cannot promise when yet. I am working with the UI library team to see what sample code and controls will be rolling out and when.

    Watch the blog. Your request has been noted.

  17. Thanks for all the interest. A number of comments have been made about code dates (see the answers we have given on the moduletabs blog article).

    What can I say. Guys we are working as hard as we can. Lots of great stuff coming. Know that we view getting some tab code examples out is important to the community.
