2010 (moved
to Linux 2012).

This is being explored in the
context of Content
Management. We have looked at various
systems, including Joomla, Drupal, WordPress and
others.
About the images on this page.
#1 was based upon Microsoft's entry
into business by internet. Lots of little
companies bought in. The access was free. Then,
it was taken away by Microsoft. Hence, after
looking at alternatives, I decided to build a
simple HTML-framed website on Linux. The
buttons, etc, were just organized images that
had been cut from the MS site and then supplied
with links. This page shows what it looked like
from 2012
to 2014.
#2 came about due to the growing content. The
management became cumbersome. Too, it was time
to look at progress that had occurred, say that
driven by mobility. In fact, I tested the new
configuration to check its degree of
friendliness to mobile devices (I'm 1G/2G,
myself, for good reasons). That time was when
various CMS alternatives were also explored.
Several prototypes were done using these. One
thing that Javascripting (and other languages)
do is allow use of the flexible features of HTML
which has been improving itself. But, along with
this new facility came insecurity (lots of it).
Like hacking of these systems. And, so I dropped
back to HTML/CSS. And, it worked. A simple
example: DAR
Chapter.
#3, and so, we finally get to Javascripting. As
you can see, we have
plans. Eventually, there will be a
database to handle user information. In the
meantime, we will stress Content over
Configuration (that old battle). It really needs
to be evaluated in terms of 0, 200, 400, 800 (a
theme of this site).

4. We have been looking at
various options in the myriad of new approaches
released over the last decade and one-half. We
were impressed by Clojure for both frontend and
backend work. However, some have argued for
going native and doing their own thing (I love
roll your own). So, recent updates using h/c/j
are encouraging.
