---- '''''Developing HTML/CGI-Apps is exhausting''''' Developing CGI apps and/or HTML-Dialogs is exhausting and time-consuming, even with [tcl]. Generating HTML syntax is complex even with the help of [html], [ncgi] and other packages. Maintaining session states makes things even more complicated. What came in my mind is the idea to use [tk]-Syntax to generate HTML-Dialogs, e.g. [entry] generates an ''''''-Tag and so on. It's clear that the capabilities and concepts of a native GUI and [CGI]-driven HTML-dialogs aren't much congruent, but what I search for is a ''much more easy way'' to develop Webserver/Browser-based GUIs and apps. I know there are several tools in [tclhttpd] which go in this direction, but most of them I never used, perhaps they are not fully documented.... And, sadly, in the real world I won't even have any tclhttpd available at all (but - good lord - MS IIS), so I'm restricted to use good old CGI procs - I'm happy if I permitted to code at least this tools in tcl (my favorite and by far the most productive tool I've ever used!). For a better understanding of what I mean, see my first try in [generating HTML with commands styled after Tk]. ---- One year after writing the above, I think [Aejaks] goes in exactly the right direction. Although I would prefer native tcl solutions... ---- [Category Essay] | [Category Internet]
