New developer - following Tutorial on CXRDE Lite and can't get 'test' page to work
I am a brand new AEM 6.1 developer. I am following through the tutorials I found here: outv.omniture.com.
Specifically, I've been following the "Create Project", "Create Template", and "Create Page Component" tutorials.
The tutorials walk me through creating a folder structure in CRXDE Lite for "training" that contains folders for "components" (and "components/page" and "components/page"), then "install", "src", and "templates". Next it has me create a template called "contentpage", that uses "training/components/page/contentpage" as its resource type. Then I create a new component in "training/components/page/contentpage". I edit this component to change the JSP to just have some basic HTML for a page. (html, head, title, body, h1, close). I 'save all' and then move on.
From there, it sends me to the old interface for WCM, and has me create a new page (named 'test'). Here is where things seem to break down. If I double-click on this new 'test' page, the tutorial says I should see my simple HTML show up in a new tab. I get the new tab, but it is a blank page. The 'show source' shows that I am in the AEM Editor, but nothing is displayed on the browser. Also, my simple HTML (which contains "Hello World") does not show up in the page anywhere.
I can bring up the Geometrix Demo site English homepage in the AEM Editor just fine, so that part appears to be completely functional.
My suspicion is that the 6.1 version of AEM introduced a new process for this simple tutorial, and I am just using an old Tutorial.
SO, my questions are:
1) Is there a better place to go for tutorials to learn how to develop in AEM 6.1?
2) Is there something simple I'm missing that I need to do to get my contentpage component to show up on a new page?
