updated the /training page to include lightbend data

[dylanowen]

Fixes: #921

I moved the training data to it's own json file so we're not loading it for all pages that use functions.js

I also refactored the training functions to work for both the front page and the /training page.

Follow up work: #923 - support for On Demand training

is there a reviewer out there who understands this stuff, at least a little, and could take a look?

[dylanowen]

By the way, @SethTisue I enjoyed your talk "You Are A Scala Contributor" at Scala Days. It's what inspired me to start picking up issues 😄

[SethTisue]

thanks for letting me know, that warms my heart!

I tried previewing this locally but the training page was still blank. otoh, I think I recall that the training stuff never worked in local runs...? not 100% sure

I'm going to go ahead and hit merge and let's just see...

[SethTisue]

hmm, https://www.scala-lang.org/training/ is still blank...

[dylanowen]

Yeah, I believe local runs don't work for training, since the php scripts aren't running (as far as I can see). For development I just served up the json from a local endpoint.

https://www.scala-lang.org/training/ works for me, but has a bit of a lag. Are there any errors in your console?

Maybe we could ditch the php proxying if we could convince the owner of https://www.lightbend.com/subscription/training.json to add some cors response headers?

oh working now, maybe I just closed the tab too quickly last time

🎉

thank you for this

we have an internal ticket on this at https://github.com/lightbend/lightbend.com/issues/1158 (private link) that has now been open for 2.5 years. I pinged again just now
