Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-14726:
------------------------------------
When I do Solr training courses I like to get the student as quickly as
possible to some real value results, e.g. {{bin/post -c mycoll file.csv}}, and
then in an optional step explain the more verbose equivalent {{curl -XPOST -H
"Content-Type: text/csv" [http://localhost:8983/solr/mycoll/update?commit=true]
--data-binary @file.csv}}. Believe it or not, some students actually *type* in
those commands by hand instead of copy/paste :)

> The reference guide Solr tutorial is here:
> https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_6/solr-tutorial.html
> It needs to be simplified and easy to follow. Also, it should reflect our
> best practices, that should also be followed in production. I have following
> suggestions:
> # Make it less verbose. It is too long. On my laptop, it required 35 page
> downs button presses to get to the bottom of the page!
> # First step of the tutorial should be to enable security (basic auth should
> suffice).
> # {{./bin/solr start -e cloud}} <-- All references of -e should be removed.
> # All references of {{bin/solr post}} to be replaced with {{curl}}
> # Convert all {{bin/solr create}} references to curl of collection creation
> commands
> # Add docker based startup instructions.
> # Create a Jupyter Notebook version of the entire tutorial, make it so that
> it can be easily executed from Google Colaboratory. Here's an example:
> https://twitter.com/TheSearchStack/status/1289703715981496320
> # Provide downloadable Postman and Insomnia files so that the same tutorial
> can be executed from those tools. Except for starting Solr, all other steps
> should be possible to be carried out from those tools.
> # Use V2 APIs everywhere in the tutorial
> # Remove all example modes, sample data (films, tech products etc.),
> configsets from Solr's distribution (instead let the examples refer to them
> from github)
> # Remove the post tool from Solr, curl should suffice.
