The work of the last months is getting visible: Version 0.2 of the app is finished and I just moved all source code to our github organizational page - check out the app4training repository!
In February, we finished a big milestone for the backend of https://www.4training.net. It was a lot of work and in the end there was no change visible from the outward - probably normal for backend work ;-)
But under the hood we could change some important parts of the architecture. With them in place we’re ready for the next development steps! Here’s what happened:
Currently I'm working on improving the quality of our Python tools and setting up a good architecture so that the next planned features and automation scripts can fit in well. Now an important step is done using GitHub Actions: Automatic testing on every push to the repository and for every pull request. That helps a lot to avoid regressions: New features should of course not break existing functionality.
How do I automate deployment to a shared web server? Somehow finding a solution for this was harder than expected.
Implementing GitHub webhooks: Providing a secure and fairly simple approach using a PHP handler script.
