Only a matter of seeing simple data structures and designing lightweight tools that can cross the galaxy

Remember Markov chains? I should get back into that; they're awfully good for sparking creativity.

The structure of a project

You know, just having "sproggler" as a concept is focusing my thoughts. You could easily envision a Web application prototyping platform there. So ... what information would there be for any given project?
  • Data schema
  • Brief mission statement
  • Requirements document
  • Specification
  • List of infrastructural components
  • Basic system description
  • Use cases
  • Templates
  • Style sheets
Each of these would be represented in an organized, standard fashion. With time I suppose you could even have a choice of methodology or something. Heh. This could be really cool.

Some links

Some things I'm finding useful:


Perl's Parse::RecDescent - actually, I'm surprised how long I lived without this one.

A little article along the way about judging C/C++ comments for readability using Parse::RecDescent and Lingua::EN::Fathom.

Then I found a bunch of stuff about PHP's session variable and how to implement login systems in PHP, some using Ajax.

I registered the domain "sproggler.com", for some nebulous future semantic-programming-online service. One probably shouldn't register speculative domains late at night.
