Slides, articles and blog posts about dancer
Hi, I think once I alrady mentioned this but maybe it was on the IRC channel when no one was looking. Or maybe it was in e-mail but I could not check the archives as http://lists.perldancer.org/pipermail/dancer-users/ does not answer me. I think it would be nice if there were links from the Dancer home page to pages talking about Dancer. E.g. to slides showing Dancer, blog posts and articles written about Dancer, videos and screencasts about Dancer etc. e.g. I just saw this: http://ajct.info/2011/05/17/dancing-in-the-clouds.html Oh I just Ducked for "perl dancer slides" and I found this page: http://perldancer.org/slides but I could not find it from the main page of Dancer. I might have missed the link. regards Gabor

And there was certainly more than one Dancer talk in the past :-). BTW: I'm planning to apply for a Dancer talk at the German Perl Workshop in October (http://conferences.yapceurope.org/gpw2011/).

Most definitely - I'd like to see this, and I'll add it soon. The biggest problem is finding a good name for it, and fitting it in to the nav :) I'm wondering if we should collapse the "Quick Start" and "Documentation" links in the nav on the left to just "Documentation", and having the documentation page start out with a prominent mention & link to the quick start page, then provide details of other documentation too. (I may even write a route handler to grab the latest POD docs and include them on the site itself - I think that could look good, and possibly help Google rank us well (Google like fresh relevant content). Another option would be for the "Dancers" nav link to be changed to something like "Reactions", which would feature sections linking to the dancefloor page, the testimonials page, to a slides page, and to a page linking to blog posts about Dancer. Thoughts would be welcome. -- David Precious ("bigpresh") http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ "Programming is like sex. One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life". (Michael Sinz)
In Padre we use the "About" page for this. But so far we only have a list of entries without pointing out the most timeless ones. (e.g. one showing how to use the tool instead of an announcement or a call for action) Some name suggestions: Resources? Articles? DanceTeachers? Actually these are two separate things (as should be on the Padre page as well). One is just all the things written about Dancer and the other that will help people get started. regards Gabor On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 1:27 AM, David Precious <davidp@preshweb.co.uk> wrote:
