Puppet users - Apr 2010 - Is this an intermediate / advanced puppet users list??

Dear Guys (and girls and autobots),

 

I look at the issues that some people have on this list, and I am
genuinely embarrassed to post my issues! I''m only trying to write some
simple recipies, that do things like install basic software and such,
but some of the code snippets posted, do not seem for the new guy.

 

Is there another resource that I''ve missed that allow a guy like me get
up to speed with puppet, before posting to groups like this?

Hi Gabriel,

Please post away, the list is very friendly to newbs, and you should find your
question answered, no matter what your level of puppet understanding is.
We''ve all been there at some point!

The IRC channel is also a great resource, there''s typically several
folk on there willing to help more interactively.

#puppet on irc.freenode.net

Cheers,

Mike

  We do offer public training courses. I think its the best way to
understand how to use Puppet (but I am biased since I teach the course :) ).

As Mike says, don''t be: everyone has to start somewhere, and you are
apparently interested and brave enough to give a different approach a shot.

They aren''t; that doesn''t mean that the list is wrong for you,
or that you are
wrong to ask basic question here on the list.

Nope.  The community really isn''t that big to justify it, either. :)

This list has no defined level of knowledge, it''s open to all
discussions AFAIK.

James Turnbull''s book is a good place to start. You may want to wait
for
the new version that covers 0.25.X series (James, correct me if I''m
wrong) 

Regards,

Nico

Thanks Guys, ( Dan, Daniel, and Nicolas J ) for your positive comments.
I''m not a coder by nature, so I will say dumb things, but I feel more
determined to crack this puppet system, to me it seems like it really
should be linux system administrator lesson 101!  Okay, I have a few
''dumb'' questions that I will be posting to the list over the
next few
days, I look forward to your assistance!

Dear Guys (and girls and autobots),

 

I look at the issues that some people have on this list, and I am
genuinely embarrassed to post my issues! I''m only trying to write some
simple recipies, that do things like install basic software and such,
but some of the code snippets posted, do not seem for the new guy.

 

Is there another resource that I''ve missed that allow a guy like me get
up to speed with puppet, before posting to groups like this?

I''ve already got this book on the way! Brilliant! (actually, it was the
only one I could find that had across the board good reviews)

As I stated earlier, I''ll start posting some of my questions, but I
will
give it a good go to fix my own issues first :)

I have never encountered anybody in this community who was anything but 
helpful, even when I was a puppet newb. If you''ve looked at a beginner 
tutorial and have a question, just post it. Or like someone else said 
the IRC channel is usually pretty helpful too.
