I've been playing with SISCweb these last few days, trying to build an app that emulates the Java Pet Store (JPS). (You know the idea: build an app in Scheme that can be compared to a Java app easily, so we can have more meaningful religious wars...)
Here are some snapshots of some ideas I've been working out.
I've found it very easy to build a large part of the JPS very quickly using SISCweb. In about 1000 lines of code I have a system that allows me to browse through the store and manage a shopping cart.
It's almost too easy to write the code.
Unfortunatly, I don't think it's been well abstracted - so I would hardly point to it as an application worth comparing to the official JPS.
So that's my next task - clean things up.
I plan to publish my findings, if I can manage to build the well designed app I have imagined.
Now, if I could only read my notes...

Interesting! Looking forward to the final version.

Me too :-).
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun project, and scheme is making a lot of things easy(ier).
However, I still have plenty of questions about the best way to architect any web app, much less one written in scheme.
What I need is more whiteboard time with the crew, at Pender drive.
