Hello,
Mark Wilcox has created a RSS news reader/blog
reader using Thinlet over the last weekend and has
also written up an experience report titled "Example
RSS Viewer via Thinlet".
Mark concludes:
Overall the application took about 2 hours to write
the Thinlet and general logic most of that time was
fiddling around with the look and feel. The vast
majority of the rest of my time with the application
(probably another 4-8 hours) was gerating code to
parse the RSS and then figuring out how to display the
RSS body which was more difficult because most body's
are in HTML & there's not a real simple way yet to
deal with raw HTML in Java.
...
In conclusion, if you're looking for a way to
develop a Web based application that needs a little
more functionality than what HTML/DHTML can provide, I
would urge you to consider Thinlet first.
