Cookbook has disappeared

Closed this issue · 9 comments

The cookbook is currently missing... The only way to look up tutorials is through google searches and cached pages

unfortunately we had to do an emergency migration of the old website. In the process of this the cookbook got moved here: http://biojava.org/wiki.html . However it is not well structured and many links don't work. As such @rmoszczynski is working on moving it to a GitHub wiki. See #10

@cthoyt here is a direct link to the fork I'm working on: https://github.com/rmoszczynski/biojava/wiki

@cthoyt you can tell me what information you are looking for so I can prioritize it first.

It would be really nice to have a recipe for retrieving FASTA files by Uniprot and HGNC identifiers, and working with the sequence alignment packages

Ok, thank you. I will do it first.

Here is what you are looking for: http://biojava.org/wiki/BioJava%3ACookbook%3ASeqIO%3AGBtoFasta

I have not migrated the recipe to the wiki because we want to put the cookbook recipes not to the wiki but to a separate repo https://github.com/biojava/biojava-cookbook. I'm working on the technical concept of the cookbook and will start to migrate probably after New Year.

actually that's an entry for BioJava 1 ...

We should at least make http://biojava.org/wiki/BioJava:CookBook4.0 give a reasonable page, for backwards compatibility. This currently seems to have two problems:

  • The : needs to be escaped to %3A to get Jekyll to find it
  • The .0 is recognized by Jekyll as an extension and delivered with content-type application/octet-stream

Adding / to the end of the permlink seems to fix both problems.
