Hi.
I think it would be helpful to write down some best practices for
getting startet with developing a new portal:
Things that come in my mind (extendable):
1.) Look an Feel
- How to develop a new Look (Template, Decorators, styles etc.)?
- How to deploy this stuff?
- Naming conventions for style definitions, template files, etc?
2.) Development, Debug, Deploy cycle
- How to set up an dev enviroment with eclipse?
- Basic steps to build my new portal application.
- How to debug my portal application?
3.) Core development
- How to extend the Jetspeed functionality, add/exchange new Services?
- How to add new services, valves.
- How to debug?
- How to deploy this modifications?
...
Anyone wants to share experiences?
