Re: [Bodington-developers] Bodington and WebLearn code

[Andrew B. <a.g...@le...>]

Yes - it's python, using the Django framework.

The reason is that I'm trying to create a version of bod that runs either on
small devices (PDAs, phones) or can run from a pen drive. The idea being to
have each student carrying their own learning resources and then syncing
with the central database as appropriate.

J2ME is too feature poor, but Python 2.5 runs nicely under Windows Mobile.
I looked at Ruby, but couldn't find a version for Windows Mobile.  Anyway,
Python works nicely and has a very full library that comes with the standard
installation.  I have the core of Bodington working and have just finished a
Guanxi Guard. I have the database, webserver, Bodington and the Guanxi guard
running nicely on an old iPaq 5500 and, via Movable Python, from a USB pen
drive (with no code installed on the PC). It's early days, but it looks
promising...

The Django framework is very easy to use and so I've ditched the Bodington
templates. There is now no HTML at all generated by the code and the
templates contain no embedded calls to the code. A much smaller Facility
class and MVC at last! This means that skinning is much easier and the HTML
templates can easily be replaced by XML or anything else.

Python is it?

Have you looked at Ruby On rails? There's some pretty impressive movies on
the website showing Blog servers being written from scratch in 10 minutes.
How long for Bodington? About a month?
