# CloudStack HackerBook

Hackerbook is a rapid learning framework for onboarding and training new

CloudStack developers. This learn by doing yourself course is aimed at anybody

who wants to learn how to develop a feature for [Apache

CloudStack](http://cloudstack.apache.org/). The basic course can be completed in

4-5 weeks and overall it can be completed in about 6-8 weeks.

In this course, each chapter has some short videos and suggested exercises which

the new developer can work on to learn by doing them, hence the name

`hackerbook`. The course starts with chapter 1 on general guideline on getting

started, and then encourages the developer to learn CloudStack as a user

in chapter 2 where they are asked to install, use and work with CloudStack

using the API, UI and have `cmk` (CLI) and ansible-based automation exercises.

Next, in chapter 3 the developer is asked to work on a fictious feature which

helps them learn about various aspect of building parts of a feature such as

creating an API, handling API via a service layer manager, DB handling, UI etc.

Rest of the remaining chapters encourage self learning and exploration with

recommended reading and references around advanced CloudStack topics.

ShapeBlue started `hackerbook` course material internally in late 2018 to onboard

and train new engineers to work on Apache CloudStack. After successfully

onboarding and training a bunch of new engineers and improving hackerbook,

ShapeBlue opensourced `hackerbook` for the Apache CloudStack community in 2021.
