Skynette – brewery fictional project as an advanced tutorial

Few ideas:

• A lot of the new applications will have to run in the cloud somewhere so creating this project on docker and dealing with the ins and outs of running a Nette application in a container would be helpful, I think.
• Dealing with tasks that can run in the background (queues) – e.g. include a solution where sending an email won't happen during the clients request. (Maybe I'm getting to much into the specifics here, but sooner or later everyone bumps into this and it'd be cool to build applications with this in mind from the start).
• Also having migrations (and a way to execute them) is a must. However I think you might've covered this in the Doctrine bullet point.

Also it might be worth noting that testing is/should be a thing. Maybe dip in testing across the application layers – which kinds of tests make sense for which components…

I perceive development that it consists of persistent testing and when developer uses classic combo dump-exit to achieve their goal, they essentially write and execute a manual test.. and then delete it.
That, I consider a minor shame because the test has been written, the code passed it and only because the test was written in ineffective way / wrong place, it could not be automatized and had to be removed.

Imho guiding developers to an easy and effective way of testing would be hella rad.

I would like see tests (nette tester or phpUnit), own Route.

Maybe should be good add some recommended literature if it'll be possible.

Hey guys, the question is simple. How it is going? All posts (in czech thread included) are 11 days+ old.

I think we got kind a stuck at features and we had some sparks and flames for using (or not) of some technologies.

At Nette Camp it sounded like we got a lot figured allready but now it does not seem like it at all.

Let's remove some features to keep it simple (and maintainable!)

Also, anyone can continue writing after the basic tutorial is finished and there can be many more things built on top of the tut, make your own blog series about advanced/pro tips & tricks!

We can't do everything in tutorial which targets juniors to become mediors!

Skynette status report #1

I've got in touch with @chemix on Slack and I was told that there has been many people offering help with testing, but not much with writing the real code and most importantly, writing the article itself.

So after a few thoughts and getting some my work done, I decided to give a hand with that and try booting it up.

Also, @chemix will be attending WebExpo (great conf, can you get me a ticket ?) so he will be mostly busy and I will report on any updates probably after.

You can see the progress at my GitHub fork (https://github.com/…res/skynette) and do not forget to give a star to the original Skynette repository !

See ya!

Edit
Sorry for the delay on report vol.2 since Fall semester already started, I am getting back to ‘school mode’.

I have freetime on friday so I hope I can get my hands on it again and finishing it up :-)

@ppar in the first post, there is a way how to contribute

My ‘thing’ is writing tutorials (see my site phpro.org)
I would enjoy being part of this documentation, by writing the actual documentation. I can liaise with the developers, and, write clear, and concise, instructions for implementing the code which the developers created.
