Hello developers.
I have a request and please let me know your idea.
Can Xen experts define a new part on Wiki about Xen developing for beginners? I mean is something like "
kernelnewbies.org" but for Xen. For example, say to users which programming languages are necessary, which book is good for learning those languages and which part of Xen codes are good for start.
I know it may funny for someone here or smeone consider the questions like it as Spam but be sure it help begginers and other users for improve Xen and get involved to project.
I like to hear developers idea.

Thank you.

Hi,

As a xennewby I definitely support your idea!

If you look at:
https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_Projects

does that help in the selection? Granted it could be expanded, but that
brings another question (Lars, Cc-ing you for this): There are some
projects, like:
 a) Re-implement the physical CPU hotplug capability in 'xen-hptool' in
   libxl, or
 b) Re-implement xen-livepatch inside libxl

which can take, oh, a couple of weeks to for newbies to get done? But
those wouldn't neccessarily fit in the Outreach Program Projects?
Perhaps we should group them together as 'starter project' or such?

The language part is simple, it is C.

I don't think it's quite the right thing and what Geze is looking for. I
think it's more about, which books, where do you find API docs/design
docs/..., how to build/test/troubleshoot, etc. - I think we have a lot of
this all over the place with a few gaps.

I think the challenge is that what we write down would need to make sense
for a newbie. So it would have to be
A) written by someone else - tested by a newbie
B) written by someone who is just getting started, e.g. someone starting
on Outreachy

@George: this could be something which may be worthwhile discussing with
Rojas

Hi Lars,

I actually like the linked wiki page, what I really miss is some kind of 
architectural description, besides reading the code ,which also a good 
exercise. Currently my main interest is Xen networking performance (saw 
some interesting prototypes made with DPDK and I'm trying to set up some 
proto using grant tables). The other area which looks very interesting 
is the PCI and stubdom area.

Cheers,

Geza

Yeah, that indeed could be nice.

Well, sure. A full-fledged program like kernelnewbies is way more than
that, and is not easy to put together.

For what it's worth, we already try to participate to programs like
Outreacy and GSOC, but certainly we can improve some of the sections of
our wiki with what you say in mind --e.g., the one(s) when we try to
keep a list of small projects.

I'll try to find some time to look into this and do something.

Thanks for your interest and suggestion.

Regards,
Dario

Thank you.
I'm happy to see more info, but beginners like me need experts guidance. For example, nowadays experts were beginners like us and we need their experiences for improve ourselves. OK, C programming need but which book is recommended. Can you introduce any book that tech software developing?

About C?

I would recommend The C Programming Language by

What I think is missing or just the pointers to it is an explanation of 
the interaction between parts of the ecosystem, like 
pci-device<>xen-netback<>xen-netfront, where is data copied, where it is 
mapped, what is the role of grant tables, what are the different parts 
of the source-code (e.g. the stubdom folder) are supposed to be good for.

Cheers,

About C?

I would recommend The C Programming Language by 
Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie

I'm thankful if you working on Xen Wiki more and thinking about interested beginners like us. If you did anything please email me.

Thank you.

Yeah, that indeed could be nice.

Well, sure. A full-fledged program like kernelnewbies is way more than
that, and is not easy to put together.

For what it's worth, we already try to participate to programs like
Outreacy and GSOC, but certainly we can improve some of the sections of
our wiki with what you say in mind --e.g., the one(s) when we try to
keep a list of small projects.

I'll try to find some time to look into this and do something.

Thanks for your interest and suggestion.

Regards,
Dario
