A few major programs of mine worked immediately when I started using Unicon, and now I've started to slowly embellish the code with OOPy stuff whenever I need to do work on it.

There used to be a very good paper newsletter for Icon (in fact, 2) which unfortunately hasn't been published for several years now. Probably most people here have grown up with it. So there will be plenty of experience here you can tap into. > I am interested in Icon/Unicon primarily as a tool to do CGI stuff, > including db backends.

I'd be looking to obtain or create a good working library if I had to work in that field with Unicon. Probably other people can point you in the right direction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
