Welcome to dat-dev-story. Intended for developers, dat-dev-story is a series of quick tutorials built to introduce you to the most useful parts of the Dat Project ecosystem.
Author's note from Jim Pick:
This isn't done yet! I started writing this in August of 2018 when I was working for Code for Science on a freelancing contract, but I haven't yet found enough time to complete it. I'm hoping to spend some weekend time on it, but the last few months have been quite busy. I'm happy to accept contributions, or even to contribute this work to any other documentation project!
We'll start with some quick hints to help you get oriented if you are new to the project. You can skip much of this if you already know your way around.
If you desire a full introduction to the Dat Project, please check out the project home page at datproject.org and the official documentation.
Each tutorial will show you a different part of the Dat ecosystem. Tutorials are structured as follows:
- Introduce a new library
- Talk about core concepts
- Introduce a role-playing scenario for the exercise
- Present a coding problem
- A solution is available for each problem
Most of tutorials can be completed using Node.js on your local computer, but they can also be completed in a simulated environment in the web page.
