From Tasks to Ideas in Apps

Hi found this very helpful Alexander M. Orlando post and I want to share it with you

Entando Wiki

Today I want to talk about the Entando Wiki.
Why?
Well as you know Entando version 3.2 was launched on the web and therefore as each new version it is necessary to review all the technical documentation.

The development team is in the process to complete this process and is has already releasing the most important document to permit you to start developing using this new version.

So click here to access the Entando Wiki page on GitHub.
At the moment available documents are (I changed the order of the list of documents to try to follow a logical order that seems most consistent for me )

General documentation

• Setup a Java development environment for the Entando Platform
  This document explains how to setup a development environment for Java developers. Those who are approaching "Entando" for the first time will find all the software needed in the first place to run, and then a few configuration hints to develop on the Entando platform.
• The Entando Model
  This is an overall view of the model of the platform. Users, Groups, Contents etc. are introduced from an high level perspective, without going too deep in the subject.
• Entando: an unexpected journey. Or, my portal from scratch.
  This guide shows how to create a new portal from scratch in minutes.
• Pattern for application services creation and integration
  This developers-oriented document shows the way and the conventions adopted to create Application Services in the Entando core.
• Plugin Pattern
  This guide explains how to create applications services in form of Entando plugins.
• Entando Rest API Engine
  This guide shows how to implement a REST based service
• Build an Entando portal
  The material contained in this page resumes some of the concepts already seen in the Entando Model, to deepen subjects such as Pages, Contents and Widgets; the aim is to provide quick information to build a portal.
• Entando in production: how to prepare a server, how to deploy your Entando based application
  This step-by-step guide shows to system or network administrators how to setup a basic server where to deploy your project.
• Migration from Entando 3.0 to 3.2
  This step by step guide shows the procedure to port the core of your Entando 3.0 installation to version 3.2

This is a good starting point to begin to develop poprtails and web applications using Entando

Becoming an Entando developer

Did you know that you can write applications that work with content stored in Entando? With our Public API, you can query, update, and delete contents, resources stored in your Entando portals.

Becoming an Entando developer costs nothing and you can create as many API keys as you need. Documentation, sample code, and other resources can be found on the Entando Developer Portal at Entando GitHub

How to write great how-to posts

On the surface, writing a good instructional piece might sound pretty easy, but if you’ve read more than a few poorly written posts after combing the web for advice, you know not everyone’s got the knack.

Darren Rowse has ten years of experience instructing others and would like to offer these seven nuggets of advice on the art of teaching through blog posts.
