Working with the Puppet Development Kit

David Schmitt

Writing good modules requires one or more local ruby installs, a tool to manage those, a number of testing and quality tools, and tools to manage those, and one of the templates to get started. If this sounds tedious to you, there are good news: the Puppet Development Kit is a new open source tool that bundles all the useful tools around writing and testing puppet modules: * puppet agents ruby* metadata-json-lint* puppet-syntax* puppet-lint* rspec-puppet* rspec-puppet-facts* rubocop David will take you through each of the tools, how they help you write better modules, and how they are used. A great introduction for newcomers, and a good refresher for old hands.
