oh if any of you have idea on what stuff should be in a 1 day getting
started workshop for beginners .. do share xD ..

currently what i'm planning:

1 - installing grokproject using buildout
2 - creating new grok project
3 - creating a simple CRUD system (no idea what yet .. maybe a simple
inventory database or something)
3.1 - covers a form library (either formlib / z3cform)
3.2 - covers TAL / METAL

"Extending a Grok application from the outside " chapter in the Grok
Book ? ... (i never had the book :P .. i learned stuff from reading
ppl's code .. lol ) .. thats for a later date i think .. not for a
basic beginner class

How about do a user register/login + profile view? It helps beginners understand how to extend the built-in libraries (if any) and store user info. That's just my 2 cents, that I think helps me learn web frameworks.

theres megrok.login which does auto registration, login and logout ..
but if you want to store the users differently, thats for a
non-beginner class i guess .. we dont want to touch component
architecture yet in the first class (because it takes quite some time
to wrap your brain around it )

btw .. i'm thinking using a simple wiki or blog system for the demo
app .. ok for you guys ? ..

A wiki or a blog works fine as well.
