Re: Meeting. March 3rd. Reuven Lerner
Wow! I'm glad that there were lots of responses this time. Just two
days ago, I was wondering what I would talk about in the absence of
any interest.
Based on what I see here, I'm thinking of doing something like,
"Modern Web development," touching on a number of the topics that
people have mentioned here -- comparing some free templating products
I've used, considering what to look for in a database, and maybe
talking about debugging a bit also, if there will be time for that.
I'll start trying to nail things down; at worst, people can always ask
me questions, and I'll do my best to answer!
By the way, the basic answer to debugging questions is that, "Things
are bad, but not as bad as they used to be." Truth be told, I tend to
just print lots of messages during development (and occasionally
afterwards), either in the HTML or to logfiles. But I have certainly
used the Perl debugger in some cases, and have also become
increasingly interested in ptkdb, a Tk-based debugger that can run in
an X window while your CGI program executes on the Web server. It's
pretty cool, and has saved me from one or two tricky situations.
Thanks for the input, and keep it coming!
