Dictionary

A dictionary has been on my todo list for Laracasts for a while now. Just need to finally knock it out. :)

Please consider a social example system for it, whereby people can submit a variety of examples, and then rate/vote on them. Sometimes just text/wordy definitions don't communicate an idea as well as a few lines of code from different implementations can.

@tag I think this part describes what you mean

and have links to any relevant lessons.

Not just links to lessons, but actual code examples you can skim through.

In some cases that would be hard and lengthy but that's what I meant as well as any lesson links.

I love the idea of this as a learning tool, sometimes all I am looking for is a brief intro to a concept before delving into some research. Makes me think of how Stack Exchange manages tags http://stackoverflow.com/tags/laravel/info

@tag the dictionary items would be, I assume, attached to the lessons. If so, you'd have the aforementioned code examples via the lesson itself :)

@BrianDillingham

The problem is skipping around a lesson/video is not as fast or easy as scrolling through some code snippets on a web page. The point of the lesson would be to help explain the general idea/pattern in more detail in case what was going on in the code snippets wasn't clear enough.

I agree its not easy to refer back to a single aspect with a video. So I am grateful for the posts on Github when relevant. Also, web searches are great too to find other example code.

Personally with a screencast website, I'd expect it to be video-centric.. Maybe check out http://laravel-recipes.com/topics you can get snippets by tag & topic if the snippets idea goes un-implemented.

Any news about this?
