[WWD] Chap 3 and 4 submitted for review - Derby dev invitation
For those of you who did not notice this in the flurry of JIRA messages
that go by. Please participate in the review if you have time. I am
particularly interested in feedback for the development community on the
code example used for Activity 3. Below is a copy of my post to Derby
User - it includes additional information.
- - -
I've submitted Activities 2 and 3 (Chapters 3 and 4) of the Work With Derby [WWD]
document for feedback.
This latest revision of Working With Derby has been posted to Jira. It
can be downloaded using:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/attachment/12324531/WWDpdfNjava0323.zip
This contains the newly completed chapters 3 and 4. Please focus first
on the initial review of these chapters. The PDF file and related JAVA
code are contained in the file: WWDpdfNjava0323.zip
The revisions of chapters 1 and 2 are also included. This is their
second review since restructuring the scope of the project and contain
modifications based on information from the first review. Please review
and comment on these revisions as time allows.
Format Change Note:
Chapters 1 - 4 contain a structural change to the Basic Activity Format
proposed. Feedback received (i.e. 'I keep jumping back and forth')
indicated that the Basic Activity Format (Item 1 on the 'Feedback
Requested' list) was not the best way to present this material. The new
format has the descriptive text interspersed with the command and
output examples. The new activity format is step description followed
by example then the next-step description followed by example, etc.
Some other changes that have been made besides correcting typOs and
syntax errors:
A short section describing each activity was added to Ch 1.
The toursDB.sql script with the anticipated path has replaced
'something.sql' as the script that is loaded in Activity 1.
References to 10.1 were updated to 10.2
The introduction is now warmer and more inviting. If you can think of
other eloquent words I might add, please let me know (I do not stand out
when it comes to being eloquent).
The introduction of shutdown=true was moved to Activity 3.
Responses to commands (aka output) is italicized to help differentiate
user input from output in the examples - for long command sequences
(e.g. running WwdEmbedded) the input is in bold.
