Xavier Morera edited comment on SOLR-6748 at 12/14/14 2:59 AM: --------------------------------------------------------------- Hi [~steve_rowe], Thanks for your feedback. I will add it there. Two comments: - Even though the training is under a paid site, if you get a trial account you can actually watch the course for free so there is no obligation to pay. That's why I thought it would've been a good fit under Resources page. Also, I've spent hundreds of hours creating material to help non-proficient-in-search-devs get started, delivered it as an online training, then an in person training and now... - I also have a book coming up in the next month on the same subject, focusing on helping people get started with Solr quickly. This one will be 100% free. Being a book, can I come back and submit it to be added to the website with the others? Thanks also for your time to reply. Much appreciated. Who can I contact to get approved for the Wiki? was (Author: xavier-morera): Hi [~steve_rowe], Thanks for your feedback. I will add it there.

A few thousand people have watched it > and I have received very positive feedback on how it has helped people get > started very quickly and reduce the entry level barrier. > Is this possible? The url of the training is: > http://www.pluralsight.com/courses/table-of-contents/enterprise-search-using-apache-solr > I believe it will help a lot of people get started quicker. > Here is the full story of how this training came to be: > A while back I was a Solr total rookie, but I knew I needed it for one of my > projects. I had a little bit of a hard time getting started, but I did after > a lot of hard work and working with other pretty good Solr developers. > I then worked and created a system which is doing pretty good now. But I > decided that I wanted to create a resource that will help people with > absolutely no knowledge of Solr or search engines get started as quickly as > possible. And given that I am already a trainer/author at Pluralsight, who > focused mainly on Agile development, I thought this was the right place to > start helping others. > And so I did. I have received positive feedback, and given my background as a > trainer I have also given it as "Solr for the Uninitiated", also for people > with no previous knowledge of Solr. > It has also been received well to the extent that I have been hired to make > it into a book, which I am writing at the moment. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
