MidCOM training sessions for this summer in Finland
===================================================
Due to new recruits' training program I am organizing a few training
sessions for this summer. Our theme will be about getting hands on
MidCOM 2.8 infrastructure.
First training session will be held next Wednesday on June 11th, 2008.
This workshop will start at 9.00 and will last until 17.00 or when the
information overload becomes overwhelming.
In case you speak Finnish and are around Helsinki area, please feel free
to join us. Workshop will be held by the Lake Vitträsk in a very
beautiful location and the fee will be around 60 euros - basically our
cost price - depending on the amount of participants. Breakfast, lunch
and afternoon tea session included.
I need to reserve the facilities soon, so please contact me as soon as
possible, if you are interested in joining. Latest next Monday.
Agenda for June 11th, 2008
--------------------------
* MidCOM coding standards
- your handwriting does matter
- namespacing - after this it's easy to find the files you are looking
for (doesn't necessarily mean that you *know* what you *are* looking
for)
* How do MidCOM components work
- How the URL request is received
- URL as a part of interface planning
- request switches
- _can_handle_
- _handler_
- _show_
* What are little components made of
- `config/manifest.inc`
- `midcom/interface.php`
- `viewer.php`
- `navigation.php`
- `config/config.inc`
- `handler/`
- `style/`
- `locale/`
- `documentation/`
* How does _midcom.helper.datamanager2_ work and what are the benefits
* Whatever I will remember when I'm actually teaching
* "Hands on MidCOM" workshop
- We will create a simple component with the following functionality
- save
- view
- edit
- delete
Requirements: a working copy of MidCOM (either an SVN checkout of
`trunk` or `MidCOM_28`) accompanied with Midgard 1.8.4+. Installation
on-site is not part of the deal, but I will have a VMWare images of both
with me.
Later in June/July
------------------
More workshops are on their way. The next ones will go through the
following subjects:
* quick recap through the previous episodes during each workshop
* AJAX editing - how do I do that?
* Going through _midgard_query_builder_ and _midgard_collector_
* Metadata
* Purecode components
* Using MidCOM SVN
* Component specific privileges
* Component specific MgdSchema objects
* Writing your own navigation with _midcom.helper.nav_
- I've heard some cases that my baby, _fi.protie.navigation_, doesn't
do and there are every now and then need for a very special
navigation
* Whatever comes along
- Post me your ideas
