[Catalyst] Catalyst Documentation

[Thomas Hartman]

There's a lot of documentation, but it's not that well organized, and
it changes fast, and sometimes deprecated stuff lingers on in the
wiki/cpan longer than it should.

Ask here and on irc where the best place to start is.

I take the wiki more seriously than I take cpan, since it tends to be
more up to date.

I would say, start with an environment where you have root access.
(Catalyst on shared hosting is still iffy in my opinion.)

 Install catalyst using the shadowcat installer:

http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/wiki/

And set up a sample app using

Catalyst::Example::Controller::InstantCRUD

Play with your skeleton app to get a sense for how catalyst works.

If anyone has a better idea I would love to hear it, but at any rate
that has been my trajectory so far.

Good luck!
