Dear Hobo-lovers, Since I've stumbled upon Hobo I'm really struggling to climb the learning curve that's always involved with these things. I'm convinced Hobo is what I'm looking for, and the point that it's not ripe for production yet doesn't bother me much, since my site is non-profit. The enthusiasm surrounding Hobo is good to see and very promising and soon I will be using cutting edge technology!
The tutorials are really impressive, if not somewhat overwhelming. I'm not only new to Hobo, but also (fairly) new to Rails. I've read much theory regarding Ruby and Rails, but discovering Hobo (and Phusion Passenger) convinced me this is the way to proceed. What I would like to see for the lesser gods like me, is a tutorial that shows how to create a fairly simple website with some category- buttons on a left panel and some detail-info buttons on top (or the other way around). And a home button, duh. ;-) I mean, a tutorial that doesn't do right to the power of Hobo, but gives you an old-fashioned 'static' website. But -as a bonus- with all the pages editable on line by an authorized user. (With the login and signup-buttons hidden.) If I had something like that, I'd have a starting point for an up and running website. After getting accustomed to that, I then could lookup the information in the tutorials about how to change the theme, extend the authorization scheme and then gradually incorporate the real powers of Hobo into my site. The current tutorials are not so much tutorials but proof that Hobo is what we need. OK, you convinced me, but now I need a starting point. My apologies if I'm asking for something that's already on hobocentral somewhere, perhaps I'm a bit impatient. For me, having something usable and trying to change that to my needs using the documentation will get me much faster to understanding the ins and outs of Hobo. Thanks in advance. -- Greetings, Eric. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hobo Users" group.
