Ladies and gentlemen,

I am pleased to announce "The Trongate Way", a living guide to building web applications with the Trongate framework.

Read it here:

https://trongate.io/documentation/trongate_way

The Trongate Way is a collection of practical patterns, proven workflows, and real world implementation guides for common development tasks. Each chapter reflects the best practices currently known within the Trongate community.

Current topics include:

• Building a member login system
• Creating a CRUD application
• Building a REST API
• File uploads and management
• More chapters coming soon

To be clear, the goal is NOT to tell people, "do things this way ...or else". Instead, the goal is to simply say, "As far as we know, this is currently the best way to do a given task, using Trongate."

It is not crystallised. It is not carved in stone. It's a moving, living and breathing document that will continue to grow and improve as we move forward. Think you've got a better way or doing something? Good! Tell us!

It's the Trongate Way and it's available at:

https://trongate.io/documentation/trongate_way

Together, let's continue to make Trongate better for everyone.

A splendid initiative, Master David. A living guide to building web applications with Trongate — capturing the best practices of the community and making them accessible to all. I particularly appreciate the emphasis that this is not a rigid set of rules but a growing, evolving document shaped by those who use the framework day to day.

Looking forward to seeing The Trongate Way develop as more chapters are added and more voices contribute. It is exactly the sort of resource that helps both newcomers find their footing and seasoned developers refine their approach.

Well done, indeed.

Hello DC,

I really enjoyed the live stream today! The energy was electrifying and incredibly positive.

"The Trongate Way" is an excellent initiative, and a definitive guide like that is exactly what the community needs right now. It’s going to be an absolute gold mine for web developers, benefiting the framework and the community alike.

To complement "The Trongate Way," I plan to release a few more long-format video tutorials diving into specific aspects of the framework. After that, I’m planning to shift toward smaller, project-based, and practical tutorials. I think this approach will pair perfectly with the guide.

Quick question: Will we be able to contribute and add new chapters to "The Trongate Way" via simple pull requests?

These are exciting times indeed, and I am incredibly glad to be a part of this amazing community!

Thank you.

And yes - absolutely. All contributions welcome.

It's all on the public GitHub repo for the Trongate docs:
