Releasse 4 - Tutorial about how to create a new Starting Kit

I was planning to fix Issue668 as my fourth release.

After talk to professor about this issue, I quickly put the right code back.

However, becuase the branch I was working on did not merge into the master branch on mozilla/brackats until the last minute, it force me to change my plan.

I would like to keep working on that issue (not for acdamic study actually make me feel better).

Luckly, I find another thing for myself to do.

Several days ago, I create a Starting Kit for thible. (see Blog)

It takes a lot effort to understand the background logic.

However, what take most of the time is writting the tutorial page and the Teaching Kit..

In this case, I was wondering: why don't I make a tutorial for teaching people how to make a Starting Kit?

Then I worked on it.

I first modified the old Teaching Kits into a template.

Link: Template1 & Template2.

These templates would save huge amout of time for people who want to ceate a new Staring Kit.

Then, I modified the tutorial.html.

By adding a little bit of text, a new tutorial would quickly be made by contributors.

Finally, I use the tempate of the tutorial.html to make a tutorial for creating new Starting Kit.

Views of both page:


I was thinking about making the tutorial into a README.md version.

I will keep contact on this issue with the community and figure out the best solution.

Lab 8 - Unit Test

What is the best thing that a programmers could ever meet? PASS the test, No bug!

That is what I feel after I saw this page:


In this lab, we made our own test for our own program.

Try to broken my own program is a really strange feeling. (usually people won't positively look for trouble to themselves)

My program did broken several times during my test, and some times I have to spend an hour change the code & google for sulotion.

The test file is much longer that the original file.

Cover every different cases is not easy. I talked to my classmates about the possible cases that might broke my program.

Thank god, I pass they all. Testing other people's job is never a easy work.

Releasse 3 - Fix few bugs about Starting Kit.

As I keep working for the Starting Kits, I find there are huge amout of bugs. (probably because no one really goes into those Kits)

Here are few bugs I found: Issue2012, Issue2028 and Issue2033.

I fixed every bug that I am able to fix (Pull2027), but most of the bugs are bugs that normal contributors cannot approached. (because Starting Kits are all works published on other people's accout).

I opend up issues, and hopefully that administrators of thimble would be able to fix those bugs.

Also, as people mentioned in the Issue1917, stay-calm project under the default folder is useless.

In this case, I removed all those files after test.

Testing this is not a easy job. Because the thimble reciently updated to bramble, I have to run both old/new code, in order to make sure that everything works fine.

Here is the work I did: Pull2011
