The PHPBridge Documentation Project

Lovingly Based on RailsBridge

Thanks to the amazing work of the volunteers behind RailsBridge and their decision to release all of their content under a Creative Common (CC-BY) license, we are able to create PHPBridge by standing on their shoulders and building up.

Overview

This is a Sinatra app, deployed at http://docs.railsbridge.org. The PHPBridge documentation project is home to a few subprojects, including the PHPBridge installfest instructions, which leads students through the various complicated setup instructions for getting PHP, MySQL, Git, etc. installed on their computer (whatever combination of computer, OS, and version they happened to bring to the workshop!), as well as the PHPBridge workshop "Suggestotron" curriculum.

Each subproject (a "site") comprises files stored under the "sites" directory; for instance, the installfest instructions are located at ROOT/sites/installfest, while the intro PHP curriculum can be found under ROOT/sites/intro-to-php.

These files can be in any of these formats:

• .step for StepFile
• .md for Markdown
• .mw for MediaWiki (temporary)
• .deck.md for deck.rb

(If multiple files exist with the same base name, .step is preferred over .md, and .md over .mw.)

Usage

bundle install
rake run

If the above fails (say, because rerun doesn't work on your system), try

rackup

Then open http://localhost:9292 in a web browser, and verify that you can navigate the installfest slides.
