Puppet users - Aug 2011 - "New" (i.e., posted last week) Learning Puppet chapters

Slowly but surely, the Learning Puppet series [1] -- the book-in-
progress we''ve been building as an entry point for beginning Puppet
users -- keeps growing. I added two new chapters last week, about
templates[2] and parameterized classes[3], and I''ll be working on more
soon. ("Soon" meaning after I put out the other stuff that''s
on fire
in the office these days.)

If you''ve been reading the series (or hey, even if you
haven''t), what
do you want to see covered in it? The next few chapters are likely
going to be about defined types, composing modules together, and some
beginning site design, and I should probably get into virtual
resources somewhere in there. And I might do a thing on data
separation with Hiera and extlookup. But after that, it''s probably
onward to client/server Puppet, and I haven''t decided the best way to
handle that yet. What brick walls did you run into? Would things have
been easier if you''d seriously boned up on SSL, for example?

So yeah, suggestions wanted. Let me know what''s working or not working
for you, and I''ll get to writing more as soon as I can. Thanks!
