Hi Folks, Paul Tyson describes the "simplicity stack" he uses to build applications: In my role as a short-order IT cook, I select the simplest tool for the task at hand, starting with Emacs (for single-shot data manipulation) and moving up to bash, sed, awk, and XSLT. A common solution that I use it to get data via SQL or sparql, go to XML either with XSLT's unparsed-text() and tokenize() functions or awk, and further processing with XSLT. If I've exhausted the simplicity stack and must look at Perl or Java I usually find I've misunderstood the problem or taken the wrong design. In my role as webapp developer, nothing but XML+XSLT will do. What is your simplicity stack? /Roger [Date Prev] | [Thread Prev] | [Thread Next] | [Date Next] -- [Date Index] | [Thread Index] |
