is a collection of blog posts, edited to have a single voice and a common thread. It was inspired by ERLANG IN ANGER, and, by an attempt of writing a beginners guide to getting started with puppet, and then getting stuck for a weak, shaving yaks.
I've always found the Puppetlabs documentation to be good, but not very beginner friendly. A "beginner" in this context is NOT new to Systems Administration, or even Automation, or Configuration Management. Just new to Puppet.
PUPPET IN ANGER is a how-to for people who want - or have to - get started with Puppet and need a reliable guide-book. It's also a reference for those who got lost debugging.
