A bit late, but..

Can't remember the exact URL, but search GOOGLE for GNUDOTNET.

They have started to whip up a FREE version of MS's .net platform.

Don't know if this is what you want, but.

Thanks, Mark. I have looked at dotgnu, but they don't provide specifically
what I was looking for - web GUI generation and automatic hookup to a
database. So far, www.dbforms.org is the best product I found.

Whatever happened to the widget subproject that span out of the

If you are writing the same code over and over again, that's a good sign
you need to start creating modules and using those.

One thing you may want to look at is Mason, which is a component based

not point and click GUI stuff -- you still need to do some coding.

I believe that sometimes people want to stop thinking and let the GUI do that 
Job, obviously, it's not possible.

Over Expectations over GUI often leads to troubles in planification

It's a fact that with the GUI's you stop understanding what you are really 
doing.

Re: ASP.NET Linux equivalent?

2001-12-05 Thread Artem Litvinovich

The sad truth is that there is no automated way generate forms based on sql 
tables or definitions. The same data maybe passed with many different form 
elements. With some JavaScript sprinkled on top of it all, no single perl 
module could go near automating this task.

The best one can do is to separate and automate the handling of the entered 
data from the form itself and leave the form page as close to html as 
possible. A setup where the form page uses HTML::Mason (which was already 
mentioned) and all the database stuff is handled by some template/defintion 
based system (I use something called form2db) is as good as it gets.

Check out the mapping for, e.g. http://petshop.bivio.biz/pub/products?p=FISH

We're all sick and tired of it!

I have written such a system. It is pure Perl, and is based on MySQL. But, no, it 
isn't mod_perl enabled.

I just use it privately at the moment, for a group of swimming clubs, and for a wine 
db.

I am undecided about releasing it, and if so, how to do so.
