How to Write a Tutorial
This section presents how to write a tutorial with MindsDB.
Content of the Tutorial
You are free to create your content. However, you should include in your tutorial all the chapters listed here.
The tutorial should be a Markdown file, for example, mindsdb-tutorial.mdx. Here is the basic Markdown syntax.
Introduction
Here you introduce the readers to the tutorial. You can describe what dataset you use and what you predict.
Data Setup
This chapter contains an introduction to the dataset you use.
Connecting the Data
Let others follow your tutorial by providing information on where to get the data from and how to connect it to MindsDB.
Understanding the Data
You can briefly introduce the dataset you use.
Training a Predictor
Here you use the CREATE MODEL command to create
a predictor.
Status of a Predictor
The next step is to check the status of a predictor. If its value is complete,
you can proceed to the next chapter.
Making Predictions
Use the SELECT statement to query for prediction results.
It is good to present the output to the readers.
Making a Single Prediction
In the case of regression and classification predictors, you can make a single prediction. It is good to present the output to the readers.
Making Batch Predictions
You can make batch predictions using the JOIN clause for all
predictor types, such as regression, classification, and time series. It is good
to present the output to the readers.
