Good question. For the development, most everything will behave dynamically, including the DB editing. It will be slower on the browser but easier to make changes and not have to wait around for a few thousand pages to get built just to see if a correction worked. Once the thing is runnining and getting anywhere past alpha and on the high-side of beta, I think it will probably build everything, including form templates, to be served statically or at least directly out of something like a Berkely DB so it's fast but adaptable. We'll see if it even gets that far. :)
And you make a good point about the approach. I'll dig into those apps Aristotle suggested and see how they handle it. (addition: oh, and I'm not anti-PHP, I'm just looking to keep the whole pie in Perl, as it were). | [reply] |
