[Jscheme-user] JScheme at work and play!

[Timothy J H. <tjh...@br...>]

Dear JScheme users,

It would be nice to add a back link page to the JScheme website that 
lists the ways in
which people are using JScheme (and includes links to those projects if 
possible).

If you have a moment to send a brief description of how you've been 
using JScheme,
I'll whip up a webpage containing all of your responses.

Some of my current uses are as follows:

User: Tim Hickey
Applications:

Teaching:
I teach JScheme to non-Science majors in the Introduction to Computer's 
class.
They learn how to write Scheme servlets as well as applets. All course 
management is done
using a JScheme server.

We also have a student server that allows students to upload their own 
servlets using a webform:

WebSites:
I maintain several websites using Scheme servlets.
http://www.cs.brandeis.edu the main CS web pages
http://4collegewomen.org  - a college women's health site
We use JScheme to maintain the development version and then use wget 
-kmp URL...
to make a static copy of the website which is then copied to the 
production server.


Groupware:
We are using a collaborative editor (grewpedit) which was written in 
JScheme
One of my PhD students is creating a Java version of the grewpedit tool 
based on the
Scheme code. We've found its quite easy to go to Java once you build 
the tool in Scheme.

Visualization:
We are building a series of visualization tools which allow one to view 
database queries as
2D images (for particular types of databases) with 1 pixel per returned 
record. These tools are
mostly JScheme, but use auxilliary classes to handle the inner loops 
(e.g. transforming the
results of the database query to the pixels of an image), while JScheme 
is used for all of the
GUI building, mouse-handling, etc. We haven't released this code 
publicly yet....
