Hello Chicken all-knowers,
I'm about to design a new, very AJAXy web application and I'd like to
write it in Chicken, plus jQuery on the client side.
What framework/server/storage engine/miscellaneous eggs/deployment
tactics do you recommend or have worked with in the past?
Here's my limited experience.
I've recently written a simple web forum in Chicken, with just 2
presentation cgi scripts (view layer), 1 cgi script to receive the
forms (controller layer), 1 "include" file with the database functions
(model layer) and another include with miscellaneous utilities.
I've made use of the excellent sxml-tools egg, the decent cgi-util
egg, and sqlite3 for database storage.
All HTML is generated from s-expressions, using sxml tools.
The CGI scripts are compiled into binaries and run by Apache.
This setup has worked very well for this private forum of mine with 10
users and 3 cgi pages, but I fear it would not scale well for bigger
applications, although I wonder by how much, if anybody has any
experience to share.
I'm going to look into Spiffy next, and the egg repository at large,
but I thought I'd ask for your real-world experience before making up
my mind.
Tobia
