To this end, I finally got around to starting something I've been
intending to do for some time, which is restructuring my
(long-since-abandoned) 'UrBlog' application into a tutorial-style
project.  I figure that while the example applications on the Ur/Web
site are helpful, they perhaps do not give a novice user the full
picture of how to develop idiomatic Ur/Web code to achieve a complete
application.  I'm hoping to go some way towards this goal.

http://www.expdev.net/urtutorial/

There is almost nothing there (yet), but it is still being actively
developed.  My intention is to basically demonstrate how to develop the
basics of the application, and then how Ur/Web encourages code re-use
(by employing the CRUD example to create an editor interface).

Finally, I was hoping to demonstrate how to "theme" an application with
minimal modification to the code.

The source for this tutorial is in Git:

https://github.com/gian/urtutorial

I would be very interested in talking to anyone who might be willing to
contribute towards this (or some complementary) effort.

Thanks,

Gian
