Tl;dr: Is there any plan or possibility to offer some educational videos or courses not only to set up a standard TW but also to customize and understand the whole structure in a specific logical order?
Hi, after two years of searching and testing several notebook- and knowledge-base-software from Evernote to Lexican I decided to use TW as my personal knowledge-base. The main argument is the cross-platform ability and the nice size of the database. But after I tested TW for a while, I liked the ability to customize the TW so much. I tried to learn everything about structure, code and possibilities of TW but this is hard as a JS-, HTML-, CSS-noob. I looked up several things at www.tiddlywiki.com and http://tiddlywiki.com/dev/ to create my first (maybe very simple) plugin. During my research I found Erics crowd-funding page (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/inside-tiddlywiki-the-missing-manual#/) and his project at https://github.com/ericshulman/InsideTiddlyWiki. This was very helpful and I learned a lot about the general TW usage. Some functions for my plugin are copied and edited from other projects and in my opinion this is very helpful too. But it took a long time to reach this point from my noob-start, maybe longer then it should. I watched some TW-Hangouts and if I get that correctly, some members are working at universities or schools. Even in the last hangout-session, Mr. Ruston spoke about students from his TW-course, who seems not to be volunteers. At the point I wonder if it is possible to offer some kind of (maybe youtube-based) video courses for the people with interest. ;-) I saw the Tutorials on Youtube to start using TW, and they are very helpful at the beginning, but the advanced-parts are missing. I know, that knowing JS will help a lot and I'll do my best to learn it fast, but maybe I'm not the only one who would only need JS to customize his TW. www.tiddlywiki.com is a nice encyclopedia, but in my opinion the educational path is missing. This educational path would be a sequence of topics which are build on each other. Maybe I did not recognized such courses so far, but I did a lot of research. Maybe coursera could be a possible platform to provide those courses. I would understand if the "coursera-way" would be too much work including chat-support aso. But maybe It is possible to offer little Youtube-tutorials or -lessons, which are semantically build on each other. Please let me know If I'm totally wrong with my thoughts, I want to learn. But maybe those courses are worth a thought. Best Regards Alex -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
