In the tutorial, we go through a idealised development process, in the following steps.
We have taken a snapshot of the directory tree after each of these steps. The changes made to a file in a given step can be viewed using CVSWEB.
The edits to the HTML files do not show up in CVSWEB. This is because they are copied into the src/ directory, and fully edited, within one step. The edits can be seen by comparing the HTML in the artist/ and src/presentation/ directory trees.
Note: Most of the action happens in the src/
directory. In Platypus, all the files edited by the developer are in this
directory. The timesheet/
directory is reserved for
autogenerated files.
Snapshots after step are shown in the directories here:
.tar.gz,
.zip.
Note: We have a numbering mismatch. Slice 0 is the result of Step 1, and so
forth. This will be fixed ASAP.
Files created by step:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Files altered by step:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
This process is described in more detail in the following pages:
If you want to run the timesheet and would like some mock data for your database, use the load scripts in this directory.
The development process depicted in this tutorial is rather idealised. A more realistic development process is described in the Hints section.
