Goblin-jim: Broke off the "learning resources" links from the rest of the hackinghowto.

2011-08-21T00:25:56Z

Broke off the "learning resources" links from the rest of the hackinghowto.

New page

The MediaGoblin project is welcoming of new contributors, even those who are new to programming. The following resources can help you learn enough to start hacking on MediaGoblin.

== Tips for people new to coding ==

=== Learning Python ===

GNU MediaGoblin is written using a programming language called [http://python.org/ Python].

There are two different incompatible iterations of Python which I'll
refer to as Python 2 and Python 3. GNU MediaGoblin is written in
Python 2 and requires Python 2.6 or 2.7. At some point, we might
switch to Python 3, but that's a future thing.

You can learn how to code in Python 2 from several excellent books
that are freely available on the Internet:

* [http://learnpythonthehardway.org/ Learn Python the Hard Way]
* [http://diveintopython.org/ Dive Into Python]
* [http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ Python for Software Design]
* [http://www.swaroopch.com/notes/Python A Byte of Python]

These are all excellent texts.

'''You Can Help'''

If you know of other good quality Python tutorials and Python
tutorial videos, let us know!

=== Learning Libraries GNU MediaGoblin uses ===

GNU MediaGoblin uses a variety of libraries in order to do what it
does. These libraries are listed in the :ref:`codebase-chapter`
along with links to the project Web sites and documentation for the
libraries.

There are a variety of Python-related conferences every year that have
sessions covering many aspects of these libraries. You can find them
at [http://python.mirocommunity.org Python Miro Community] -- This is a shameless plug; Will Kahn-Greene runs Python Miro Community.

If you have questions or need help, [http://mediagoblin.org/join/ let us know]!

=== Learning git ===

git is an interesting and very powerful tool. Like all powerful
tools, it has a learning curve.

If you're new to git, we highly recommend the following resources for
getting the hang of it:

* [http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html Learn Git] --- the GitHub intro to git
* [http://progit.org/book/ Pro Git] --- fantastic book
* [http://gitcasts.com/ Git casts] --- screencast covering git usage
* [http://gitref.org/ Git Reference] --- Git reference that makes it easier to get the hang of git if you're coming from other version control systems

There's also a git mission at [http://openhatch.org/ OpenHatch].

=== Learning other utilities ===

The [http://openhatch.org/ OpenHatch] site has a series of
[http://openhatch.org/missions/ training missions] which are
designed to help you learn how to use these tools.

If you're new to tar, diff, patch and git, we highly recommend you sign
up with OpenHatch and do the missions.
