I just "finished" writing my interactive tutorial on server configuration/deployment with Saltstack: https://amfarrell.com/saltstack-from-scratch/ https://amfarrell.com/saltstack-from-scratch/
As someone who struggled a lot with writing anxiety in school, I just feel really good about having gotten this out the door. I also feel like I've learned a bunch about how to push past writing anxiety.
I put "finished" in quotes because I still feel like I have a lot that I want to add and improve:
- I approached this project as a UI design and I feel like I want to do a lot more user testing, especially for folks on Windows or who have poor connections.
- I wrote a line-by-line comments system so that folks could let me know which parts didn't make sense. I want to improve that and turn it into a plugin so that other projects could use it.
- I have some integration tests for some of the parts that I feel like need to be written.
- There are a few trade-offs I made that I suspect I should go back and make the other choice.
- I currently have students only deploy to DigitalOcean. I want to have instructions on how to deploy to AWS, Azure, and a bunch of other services.
But for now, I'm just really happy having gotten this up there. If you have feedback, please let me know.
