[Puppet] The studying track of Puppet

After taking some time to study Puppet a while, I become to believe more and more that it is a great auto configuration tool. The following URLs are my studying track of Puppet.

For the beginner, it is recommended to walk through for learning the basic concept
Learning Puppet
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/learning/index.html

Once you finish the above document, you probably want to do your own type and provider. Here you go:
Customer Type
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_types.html
Provider Development
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/provider_development.html

Juniper provides its open source project for using Puppet to manage and configure the switches that support Puppet Agent. It is a very good example for you to understand how to define customer type and to implement provider.

To define customer type:
