5 Feb 2002: Added resource pages

I've added a new resources section. The FAQ has been moved to the documentation section

I've been building a list of code generator projects for some time, so I thought I might as well publish it. Not that I've used many of these projects, but you might find something you like.

When I was preparing release 0.2.1a I noticed something painful. I had to make sure that all references to release 0.2.0a were updated across this web site and the documentation. I did it by hand. Today I bit the bullet and did it properly.

This web site is built using Jostraca, following the eat your own dog food principle. I defined a simple String variable, release, which contains the value "0.2.1a" (or whatever the current release happens to be). Then I defined a replacement for it:

<% @replace [release] 
            $<o>=$release$<c> %>

This means that whenever I use the text [release] in the site HTML, the template understands that I mean: <%=$release%>, which then inserts the correct release number into the HTML. (The template for this web site is written in Perl). So that's nice.

By the way, the template for this site is also available if you are interested: content.jtm. The meta data describing the HMTL pages to produce is here: page-desc.txt. Not it's not in XML, but it would be easy to convert into XML if required. The actual content is here: content-list
