Decisions

Path to user environment .. username/XX?

User Auth, OpenID?

Tutorial content

layout of “system” skeletons/ = tarballs & content for base tutorial

exercises/ = subdir per chapter? containing tests/ dir, lib/ containing full solution needed up until this chapter to solve the current test, minus whatever the test is testing. overlay this onto the user’s lib dir if requested, or they haven’t done previous codings.

How to keep track which items the user has done?

Individual items done, so far, bookmarks and exercise results can be used as “latest activities”

Docs in module code, do we set AUTHOR / etc for the user?

Ch1 - setup of dbic schema files

When to create the user’s coding environment?

on login and/or register, with checkbox needs more explainng of what it is, and that it will take a while.

How to set/change perms on the coding env (to ‘progtorial’)

Need sudo to run mknod!

Setup

Install perlbrew’d 5.10.1 / 5.12.x in a clean location

Install DBIx::Class and deps in the perlbrew

Create bare skeleton of dbic tutorial (makefile, basic schema)

Coding

“Clone” new user environment

Hardlink the perlbrew and dep modules (by path so user of progtorial can supply their own)

Copy / unpack the bare skeleton into user env

Setup webframework to build the dbic tutorial application in

Install catalyst (in its own perlbrew/locallib?)

Set up authentication (CatalystX::Login?)

Compiling / testing user code

Figure out how to run all these chrooted

Compile user code, report results

Run user code against applicable test suite / file, report results

Output test cover results to somewhere the application can display them

User profile maint/management

Password reminder/reset

Change my password

Edit account details/email etc

View my exercises/tutorials/tarballs
