After doing a documentation suggestion, Massimo suggested me to join the
list. Please allow a short introduction.
My first "connection" with Rivet was a few weeks ago, when I sought a
simple server-side web generation language/framework with short learning
curve (with the aim of creating a sort of community shared living table).
There have been some little (first) PHP experiments - that was for
modifying current stuff. I found Rivet via wiki.tcl.tk (I think so). And
my Tcl experience/knowledge constitutes the basis upon the decision to
start experiments with Rivet (despite knowing C, which makes PHP familiar
as well). A second drive was the fact that Tcl/rivet allows substantial
program build&test without web frontend.
I intend to create some sort of tutorial from the view of unexperienced
web programmers. Two websites have been created, and next (in a few weeks)
I'll try to present a sort of template that can be used by newbies as a
means to build in their own stuff.
Of course PHP makes generically more sense when new stuff must be created
(that does not rely on an existing reusable Tcl code base), but for Tclers
I'd suggest that Rivet means a shorter way to create web apps (Basta!).
Technical information: "My" Rivet runs on a Debian wheezy-based vserver,
installed via package management (2.0.5-1).
