Elm Tutorial (fist project setup)

[krzychukula]

Is there anywhere official Elm tutorial?
Something more hands-on than http://guide.elm-lang.org/index.html?

What I'm looking for is something like:

1. Install elm from here: http://elm-lang.org/install
2. mkdir hello-world
3. generate new project?
4. crate file Main.elm
5. write: http://elm-lang.org/examples/hello-html in the file
6. run the file somehow

I was expecting something like this on: http://elm-lang.org/get-started but there is too much stuff there and the best things I've found while skimming were to clone examples and I don't want to do that.

If I've missed this kind of tutorial I would appreciate if you can point it out to me :)

From a quick search I found this kind of tutorial here and here. But I agree it would be nice to have something like that in the official website.

By the way, about generating a project, there's a tool I've built, elm-new, that gives you that kind of experience. Basically you run:

mkdir hello-world
cd hello-world
elm new --beginner

# or just:
elm new hello-world --beginner

And it generates a basic project using Html.App.beginnerProgram.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but I'm thinking about adding a --hello-world option. Maybe it could also point people to the official guide or something. What do you think?

@simonewebdesign I like both elm-new and http://www.elm-tutorial.org/en/01-foundations/01-hello.html. Thanks
