Discussion starter: Possible improvements to hello-camkes-2 tutorial. #33

Regarding this tutorial, I believe there is a chance to make some changes to improve the goals of having the tutorial around.

Following through the hello-camkes-2 tutorial, it asked for a lot of steps, without being explicit about how to confirm that you are progressing correctly. Being unfamiliar with a workflow that works well, it was unclear to me how and when to stop and validate work done up to a given point.

When I started over again, from the beginning of hello-camkes-2, I took a modified approach. In this approach I accomplished smaller things in smaller steps, validating each along the way. I would not move on to the next step until I was satisfied with the current

1. Understand setting up producer/consumer events each side

• confirmed through successful build

2. Setup shared memory buffer

• confirmed by printing it client-side

3. Bring server into the equation

• confirmed with a log message in the handler

4. print the shared buffer
5. modify shared buffer

• confirmed by repeating the print

6. signal the client

• confirmed with a log message after the wait()

7. print the same buffer again

• Expect to see changes propagated from server

I did a similar work flow for the typed dataport.
