Hello Sarthak,
so what’s your next steps?
It was recommended to endorse an issue. That could be one way to start.
But maybe before that, you could create one or two own applications beyond
simple tutorials that would empower you with the tricks of page rendering?
I am not able to figure out what type of application should I develop.
Could you please provide me with some ideas, so that I am able to form a
mini proposal for myself and then work on it. I can come up with some ideas
but I don't know if it will take me in the right direction or not.
Thanks :)

Hi Vincent,
I am done with the FAQ tutorial. I now have the basic idea that how a
page
in XWiki is created. Though I am facing some
difficulty with the syntax,
but I know it will come with time. :)
As far as I have understood there are generally two ways to create an
application in xwiki. The first one is by simply using AWM and another
one
is by declaring data xobject(classes), following
procedures afterward and
writing codes which certainly add more to the application.
I saw some slides by Guillaume Delhumeau about using velocity in XWiki.
Those have helped me a lot(Thanks, Guillaume!!).
I went through the following things
- Continuous Integration doc. I understood the technique of Binary
Dependency builds.
- Coding styles on each of the languages that are used.
- Back-end Development Practices:
- Component module documentation.(I have to understand it more
clearly, maybe later).
- Front-end Dev Practices.
- Building XWiki from sources.(Looked it in Application period too).
- Basic Idea how testing is done. In a nutshell, each and everything is
tested at each subsequent stage.
I have already asked most of my small doubts on IRC(some of them were
silly
:P).
