The Advanced Learning.io

A focused, minimum viable product (hence MVP) for a website that accompanied the release of elementary OS Freya.

Project Organization

• Issues for individual actionable items, or bugs i.e.:
  • Design home page
  • Implement home page
  • Add payment form
  • Fix link to Wired article
• Milestones for "releases" or overall steps, i.e.:
  • Single-page site
  • User Documentation
  • Journal
• Reviews Do all work in branches, then submit pull requests for review when ready
  • No dummy content in master, ever.
  • Small diff is best diff.
  • The reviewer is the gatekeeper. Be kind of a dick.

Architecture/Philosophies

• HTML, CSS, and JS
• Super simple PHP-based templating system
• No/minimal frameworks (keep it simple!)
• Graceful degradation (don't be held back by crappy browsers)
• Mobile-first

Templating System

• PHP-based
• Pages go in root as .php files
• require_once '_backend/preload.php';, set any variables, then include $template['header']; (see code-of-conduct for an example) at top of page.
• include $template['footer']; at bottom of page.
• Page variables:
  • $page['title']
  • $page['description']
  • $page['author']
