accountdb
Posted on February 18, 2006 by oubiwann
This week I made some great progress on the accountdb twisted/nevow micro app. The prototype is finished, complete with screenshots. One of the nice things that happened while writing it was a personal issue resolution :-)
And, yes, as a programmer, most of my personal issues are with software and software implementation or design.

Here's the issue: I think Nevow's stan is fantastic and ingenious. However, I tend to adhere pretty strictly to the principle that HTML doesn't belong in code, and should remain in templates. For that reason, I even try to steer away from programmatically generated HTML.
Two things let me relax this position: 1) stan is very clean, and 2) when you have lots of "mini-templates", having them all in separate files really starts to affect performance negatively, especially if
you're creating objects to provide an interface for them.
This work has given me some nice insight on how I can optimize imagedb as well. I'm looking forward to that, since I've been using imagedb a lot more, lately.
Oh, I almost forgot: sales pitch for accountdb: this micro app is, as you can guess, responsible for storing users and providing web authentication as a service. Don't worry, there will be many more blog entries on this in the future, and I will describe how this is done and why this is so useful :-)
But for now, back to coding!
