Hey Dan, Thanks for the comments, it is rather easy to record and I think the HD resolution adds some professionalism to the presentation. Now, before I start creating actual tutorials, I will need to do some planning so that the presentations are clear, smooth and also deliver the right message. I definitely agree on having a clean eclipse workspace for the actual recordings and I would like to use the initial baseline of Apache Isis. I appreciate any other feedback as well.
You mentioned several screencasts that we could develop and I would like to create an initial list of what we would like to have. You mentioned having screencasts of the various components around the hexagonal architecture which I have included in a list of screencasts below: DnD Viewer HTML Viewer Scimpi Viewer Headless Wicket Objects In-Memory Object Store (May not be too interesting) XML Object Store SQL Object Store Berkeley Object Store JPA Object Store RESTFUL Objects Groovy Setting up eclipse Installing m2eclipse Using nof templates within the eclipse ide (Other ide's if we have templates for them) Developing your first Apache Isis application Using archetype with NetBeans Using archetype with IntelliJ Creating and adding a fixture in nakedobjects.properties Creating and adding a service in nakedobjects.properties Tutorial on creating new domain objects Tutorial on creating relationships Tutorial on adding a disableXxx() method and adding a hideXxx() method I would like to add to this list based based on others ideas as well and then select a sequence of what screencasts to create first. There may be a few of these screencasts that I might need some advice on, but we can handle that as we go. -Dave --- [email protected] wrote: From: Dan Haywood <[email protected]> To: [email protected] CC: [email protected] Subject: Re: Hexagonal architecture videos (was: off-list private correspondence) Date: Wed, 29 Sep 2010 19:50:17 +0100 Hi Dave, That's great, was easy to follow and - given how quickly you turned that around - hopefully not too difficult to actually record. In terms of feedback on the actual presentation, nothing too much to say; perhaps having all the NOF projects in your Eclipse workspace would be somewhat confusing (better to start with a brand-new workspace); and it might be worth mentioning that you had installed m2eclipse, and that the Nexus indexer can be very slow. Perhaps what might be worth doing is to do some planning on which screencasts we need to develop, eg: installing maven, installing m2eclipse, using archetype with NetBeans, using archetype with IntelliJ, adding a fixture in nakedobjects.properties, adding a service in nakedobjects.properties, adding a disableXxx() method, adding a hideXxx() method etc etc?
