Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Austin Bennett]

I have no problem accessing Katas when I'm in IntelliJ IDEA, or in
PyCharm.  But, I would expect - with edutools plugin - expect to be able to
use the Katas from GoLand.  Currently not able to do that.  Has anyone had
successes accessing Go Katas from GoLand?  Perhaps I am doing something
strange?

 Hi Austin,

 Thanks for your help in adding a new lesson.
 I will have a look and help to review the pull request.

 On your questions:
 1. Apart from the *-remote-info.yaml, the other yaml files should
 contain Apache license header. We explicitly turn off license header check
 for the remote-info files as can be referred in the build.gradle
 . The reason
 is because the remote-info files are auto generated, and they will always
 get replaced whenever we update the course on Stepik.
 All the YAML files are important and have to be included as part of the
 repository. The {task, lesson,section}-info.yaml files are metadata
 files used by the JetBrains EduTools plugin for Educational projects. The
 *-remote-info.yaml files contain metadata information (e.g. the IDs)
 important for Stepik to track our courses.

 2. We do not leave out the beam.Create. Apart from the Introduction
 lesson, you can find it in the cmd/main.go file. We explicitly create the
 main.go file in order for the learner to be able to also run the pipeline
 independently and observe the output, just like when they write the
 pipeline normally.

 Hope my answers help to clarify.

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Henry Suryawirawan]

Hi Austin,

The remote-info yaml files would get updated upon updating the course on
Stepik, not entirely recreated as if from scratch.
The important IDs metadata that track the course ID, section ID, lesson ID,
and task ID are preserved.
Having these files in the repo allows multiple people to be able to update
the same courses on Stepik without resulting in new courses everytime it
gets updated.

As an illustration, let's take the Go Katas.
The course-remote-info.yaml tracks the course ID as `id: 70387`.
This corresponds to the equivalent Stepik course page:
https://stepik.org/course/70387/promo
This course ID has also been endorsed by JetBrains to feature visibly on
the course list.
If we don't keep track of the IDs, we'll always recreate the course with
new IDs every time it gets uploaded.
I hope this helps to clarify the needs for the remote-info files to be in
the repo.

I've explored a way to automatically update the course that can be
triggered by the CI.
What I found is that at the moment it is better to update the course from
the IDE menu, otherwise we would have to find out what actually happens
behind the menu and reverse engineer the steps.
It may be possible to do, but I am also concerned if JetBrains updates the
plugin and changes the way it handles the course upload, and that we have
to keep up with the changes at the same time.

On the stats, we have some statistics that are publicly available and
privately available for the course instructors.
The promo page shows the publicly available stat of the number of learners
who have tried the course, any star and review, e.g. for Java Katas (
https://stepik.org/course/54530/promo).
The private stats include number of learners per day, task pass rate, the
learners, etc.

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Austin Bennett]

Hi Henry,

Cool.  Most makes sense.

What I am missing is the need for the '*-remote-info.yaml' in the beam repo
(I do get what purpose it serves for Stepik).  There is probably a good
reason.

To get nitpicky (am genuinely curious) --> It seems that this sort of
metadata would get (re-)created upon (re-)uploading a course.  What does
persisting it to the repo get us?  This is also in line with nascent
thoughts of auto-deploying katas to stepik on accepted merge into
learning/katas/ -- rather than this being done manually.Perhaps this is
just due to my lack of having spent much time with Stepik.

Also, do we have download statistics from Stepik for the Katas?  What other
bits of information can we gather from Stepik (as you share, if Stepik is
using *-remote-info.yaml for tracking, what information are we able to
gather from there)?

Thanks,
Austin

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Henry Suryawirawan]

Hi Austin,

Thanks for your help in adding a new lesson.
I will have a look and help to review the pull request.

On your questions:
1. Apart from the *-remote-info.yaml, the other yaml files should contain
Apache license header. We explicitly turn off license header check for the
remote-info files as can be referred in the build.gradle
. The reason is
because the remote-info files are auto generated, and they will always get
replaced whenever we update the course on Stepik.
All the YAML files are important and have to be included as part of the
repository. The {task, lesson,section}-info.yaml files are metadata files
used by the JetBrains EduTools plugin for Educational projects. The
*-remote-info.yaml files contain metadata information (e.g. the IDs)
important for Stepik to track our courses.

2. We do not leave out the beam.Create. Apart from the Introduction lesson,
you can find it in the cmd/main.go file. We explicitly create the main.go
file in order for the learner to be able to also run the pipeline
independently and observe the output, just like when they write the
pipeline normally.

Hope my answers help to clarify.

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Rion Williams]

Thanks Austin,

Firstly, awesome work. I love seeing more folks involved in the Beam efforts as 
I know that’s been the focal point of my attention recently and I’d love to get 
others involved in the project.

The Kotlin PR hasn’t yet been merged, so I can try to sneak this and any 
additional work done/katas for Go that you added in for Kotlin. 

I’m afraid I can’t answer any questions regarding the Stepik generated 
*-remote-info.yaml files, however I believe the existing master branch includes 
them for the Java katas, so I’m currently under the assumption that they’ll be 
included. Henry can probably provide more insight into that as he’s the author 
of the other existing Katas up on Stepik presently.

Thanks for the contribution,

Rion

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Austin Bennett]

@Rion, @Henry Suryawirawan , @Damon,  I added a
Flatten Kata for Go.  Please have a look:
https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/11806  -- tagged all of you as other
authors of Katas.

A few questions:

1)  Across all the katas, we have files '{task,
lesson,section}-remote-info.yaml'.  These files do not contain the apache
license, and I imagine they are generated by Steptik/other (also, to get
working locally those files were not needed).  Should these files be
ignored (via .gitignore) and kept out of the Beam repository?  Wondering
why we would want those in the repo, and if yes, should they have the
Apache License on them?

2) On Go Katas generally.  I wrote this one following convention of other
Go Katas found in the repository.  For the Java and Python versions, the
code that people work with includes seeing the Beam.Create.  This is left
out of the GoLang katas, and kept behind the scenes.  Is there reasoning
for breaking from the convention of the other Katas?
https://godoc.org/github.com/apache/beam/sdks/go/pkg/beam#Create

Thanks,
Austin

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Rion Williams]

Hi Henry,

I submitted a pull request related to the Beam Katas that can be found here 
(https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/11761) and included you as a reviewer. I 
updated all of the related metadata, generated the course, and tested through 
it to ensure it worked as expected (and the placeholders all worked as expected 
as well).

The generated course can be found here on Stepik 
(https://stepik.org/course/72488) and I’ve reached out to a few folks to put it 
through its paces in the wild. 

Let me know if there’s anything else I can do or changes that need to be made 
in the PR or elsewhere.

Thanks again,

Rion

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Henry Suryawirawan]

Yeah there was a recent pull request merged for the md file format change.
I checked your repo and it still contains the task.html, so need your help
to merge with the latest master.

For the answer placeholder, you may refer to this doc
 first
to understand how it works.
It will auto update the placeholder position in the task-info.yaml.

If you encounter any issue, just let me know.
Thanks Rion.

Henry

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Rion Williams]

Hi Henry,

Thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it. I believe that I pulled the 
latest from master a day or so ago, so I’ll make sure to pull the most recent 
changes in.

As far as the placeholders, they aren’t currently present (as I don’t believe 
they were present in the Java ones within the learning/katas directory), 
however I can easily add those in to align with the content of the existing 
course. I wasn’t entirely sure based on the existing directories if the files 
should contain the placeholders or the actual implementations, either way, it’s 
a pretty trivial series of changes.

I’ll try to put these together tomorrow and push up a PR. I’ll make sure to 
include you as a reviewer.

Thanks for the initial feedback,

Rion

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Henry Suryawirawan]

Thanks Rion for adding the Kotlin version.
This is great to show other people that Beam can be done in Kotlin too!

I can help to review your work.
Please help to incorporate the Java Katas latest changes from master.
There are recent changes to the task description file format from html to
md.
Please also help to remove all the *-remote-info.yaml files.
I assume that you've adjusted the answer placeholders in all tasks as well.
Afterwards, you can create a pull request and assign me as reviewer.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions.


Regards,
Henry

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Rion Williams]

Sure! I ran through all of the tests locally on my branch (as tests) and then 
performed a check against all of the known tasks (via Course Creator > Check 
All Tasks) and 35/36 tasks passed successfully with the only one that didn't 
being a Built-in IO one that doesn't currently have any implementation. 
Although, I'd love for someone else to try the same thing since as far as I can 
tell it "works on my machine".

Thanks!

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Pablo Estrada]

This is really cool Rion!

I believe it's possible to start trying out the katas from your branch? If
so, I can give them a try, and use that as a review...
Henry, any other ideas?

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Rion Williams]

Hi all,

I was recently added as a contributor and created a JIRA ticket related to the 
existing Katas (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-10027), specifically 
creating one that targets Kotlin specific as there are quite a few existing 
examples out there for Kotlin, so I thought a Kata course that would parallel 
the existing Java, Go, and Python ones.

I basically ported over the existing Java Katas, added the appropriate 
dependencies, and converted all of the Java files over to Kotlin, and ensured 
that all of the tests pass as expected. I'd love outside of this to see if we 
can shift it to a Stepik course as well if that seems reasonable similar to 
those mentioned in this thread.

My current branch awaiting a PR can be found here 
(https://github.com/rionmonster/beam/tree/BEAM-10027), however I'm unsure who 
would be the best to review such a PR and what other steps might need to be 
taken before trying to get it merged in.

Any feedback would be welcome!

Thanks,

Rion

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Henry Suryawirawan]

The guide for sharing the course (publishing to Stepik) can be found here:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/education/educator-start-guide.html#share_course
It is well integrated in the IDE with a few clicks.

Yeah the publication process is now distinct.
At the moment, when the PR for the course changes is approved, we update
the Stepik version, add & commit the auto-generated metadata YAML to the
PR, and then merge & close the PR.
Open to suggestion if there is a better way to publish.

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Rion Williams]

+1 on the contributions front. My team and I have been working with Beam 
primarily with Kotlin and I recently added the appropriate dependencies to 
Gradle and performed a bit of conversions and have it working as expected 
against the existing Java course.

I don’t know how many others are actively working with Kotlin and Beam, but I’d 
love to work on transitioning that into a proper course (assuming there’s 
interest in it).

Re: Try Beam Katas Today

[Austin Bennett]

It looks like there are instructions online for writing exercises/Katas:
https://www.jetbrains.com/help/education/educator-start-guide.html

Do we have a guide for contributing and publication/releases occur
(publishing to Stepik)?  Although the code lives in the main repo
(therefore subject to those contrib guidelines), I think the
release/publication schedule is distinct?

This hopefully will help illustrate that we are able to contribute to Katas
(PRs welcome?), and not just consume them!

[Henry Suryawirawan]

Yeah certainly we can expand it further.
There are more lessons that definitely can be added further.

>Eg more the write side windowing interactions?
Are you referring to Write IOs?

 Hello Everyone,

 If you don't already know, there are helpful instructional tools for
 learning the Apache Beam SDKs called Beam Katas hosted on
 https://stepik.org.  Similar to traditional Kata
 , they are meant to be repeated as
 practice.  Before practicing the katas myself, I found myself copy/pasting
 code (Please accept my confession  ).  Now I find myself actually
 composing pipelines.  Just like kata forms, you find them becoming part of
 you.  If you are interested, below are listed the current available katas:

 1.  Java - https://stepik.org/course/54530

 2.  Python -  https://stepik.org/course/54532

 3.  Go (in development) - https://stepik.org/course/70387

 If you are absolutely brand new to Beam and it scares you like it
 scared me, come talk to me.

 Best,

 Damon

I went through them earlier this week! Definitely helpful.

Is it possible to expand the katas available in the lO section? Eg more the
write side windowing interactions?
