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).
