Well, when you're doing development, any web page is an example as you're
running locally. The jump would be to compile it as a stand-alone. I was
impressed how easily we have an http server. Compare that to configuring
IIS to run ASP pages, and I want to barf. (Yes, I know that's not apples to
apples, but often I just want the core of the apple!)
If you want to follow the path of least resistance, try getting the
calculator running then modify from there. Next, compare to the blog webapp
and try to run it from the same 'run-calculator' type word. Blogs should
teach you enough about chloe to decide if you like it or not.
Using fhtml templates is like php development. Play with it:
: fhtml-file ( fname -- str ) <fhtml> [ call-template ] with-string-writer ;
I never have understood the exact difference between dispatcher and
responder, but somehow still can get things working.
You'll probably need to know about db-tuples, although you can do quite a
bit keeping objects in memory. Although the web page is stateless, global
variables in factor are available because there's only one instance running
all requests. You can also temporarily violate best practices and save
whatever you want in the session, then come back later and make it more able
to run from anywhere if you need.
