Pedestal Application Tutorial

This tutorial will explain every concept in the Pedestal application library while walking you through the process of building an application. The application which we build during the tutorial is very simple but was chosen because it allows us to cover most of Pedestal without getting wrapped up in the details of the application.

Going through this tutorial will not only explain each part of Pedestal and how they fit together, it will show you how solve problems with Pedestal, how to customize the tools, and how to design Pedestal applications.

Each section of the tutorial will describe a few key concepts of Pedestal while making a small improvement to the application.

• Getting Started
• Making a Counter
• Increment the Counter
• Simulating Services
• Derived Values
• Debug Messages
• Post Processing
• Making an HTML Template
• Rendering
• Aspects
• Making the Service
• Connecting to the Service

And more...

This is a "living" tutorial. New sections will be added until we have covered all of Pedestal's features. When major improvements are made to Pedestal we will update the tutorial app and add a section to this tutorial which will show how these improvements can be used.
