Zotonic - where to find a quick start

Question

I was in zotonic docs , but, in fact, they really did not help, because everything is in pieces there. I'm a pretty good erlang programmer, and I think what I need is a complete example of a website or web application, however simple but from scratch.

Usually a principle-based example will be used to illustrate all the basic concepts of a library. For example, how is the site arranged? how and where do i put these files? What does this configuration mean? What options exist for this task? etc.

Zotonic looks great from the outside, and I would like to dive into it. This seems like Erlang's only easy way to create a website and manage a website using erlang.

Question: Does anyone come across a full-fledged Zotonic website or a web application whose source they can share, or a tutorial starting from scratch, especially for Erlang programmers, that can get you to really start? Something similar to this introduction to Django
Also, are there any builds for Zotonic that can be installed on Windows Server?

Answer 1

I develop (in my free time, which is not so much), the project / question tracker in zotonic. The code can be found here: https://github.com/kaos/trackz and a demo site with the code here: http://trackz.astekk.se/

This is in the early stages, so it will not be too difficult to monitor progress from scratch, looking at the commits made, there is still not much to watch.

It is designed against 0.8.x, so there will probably be no problems running on 0.9-dev.

I also have some articles about zotonic internals (how to write modules for zotonic) and other related topics here: http://blog.astekk.se/en/by_keyword/318/zotonic

Hope this fills at least some of your questions :)

Hint:

Explore the data model and directory structure. As soon as you feel it, everything else will be easy.
