Today marked a significant milestone in my project as I accomplished major tasks that bring me closer to the completion of my Postgres extension tutorial. I successfully completed the regression testing phase for my skeleton extension, ensuring its functionality and reliability. Additionally, I finalized the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) tutorial, which I eagerly submitted to my mentors for review and feedback.

The MVP tutorial comprises three comprehensive sections that cover all essential aspects of extension creation:

Basic Code and Definitions: In this section, developers will be introduced to the fundamental code structures and definitions necessary for Postgres extension development. It covers topics such as control files, SQL script files, and other essential components, enabling readers to grasp the building blocks of extension creation.

Sample Extensions: Building upon the foundational knowledge, this section provides developers with practical examples of sample extensions. By dissecting these extensions, readers can gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of how to create more complex and specialized Postgres extensions.

Links and Further Education: Recognizing the importance of continuous learning and exploration, this section includes a curated collection of valuable resources, links, and references. It serves as a springboard for developers to further expand their knowledge in Postgres extension development, exploring advanced topics and delving into additional areas of interest.

In addition to the core sections, I also added a fourth section that addresses advanced topics. While completion of this section depends on available time, it represents my ambition to venture beyond the scope of the initial tutorial and delve into more intricate and specialized aspects of Postgres extension development.

With the submission of the MVP tutorial and the Deliverables List, I now have a clear roadmap for the remaining project timeline. I hope by adhering to the outlined timeline and goals, I will be able to complete the tutorial ahead of schedule, allowing me to explore advanced topics and refine the content further.

As I move forward, I eagerly anticipate receiving feedback and guidance from my mentors, which will help me enhance the tutorial and ensure its effectiveness in aiding developers on their extension creation journey.
