Awesome Sauce Java Web: server-side Java Scripting in Java

[2/15/18 I'll be adding sample code to this article starting 2/16/18]

Mentioning Java three times in the title isn't an accident. It's meant to emphasize how Awesome Sauce Java Web turns Java into a dynamic scripting language for web development.  In fact, ASJ Web turns Java into a one-language solution for server-side web development.  Unlike standard Java, ASJ Web makes web-pages available as you write them.

As an experiment, I'm also exploring making client-side ASJ Web.  A scripting solution that makes it possible to install and update client-side code that collaborates with server-side ASJ Web code to generate pages and rich client applications.

Truth is, splitting client-side Awesome Sauce Java from server-side Awesome Sauce Java is already possible and has been done. I'm working on demos and modes of operation.  I'm also exploring why it makes sense and to compare how it works versus Javascript, HTML, and CSS.  Or with them. And with them.

The HTML rendering code in ASJ Web can be either server-side or client-side. At issue is whether the JVM is available on the client and what makes sense to do if not. But for proof-of-concept and providing a path for developers, it makes sense to show what Awesome Sauce Java Web can do.

Watch this space for more articles.  I'll be posting sample code with future articles and adding video to show the performance live.

If you provide your email address, I can update you with news about the upcoming crowd-funding campaign.  I'll be offering a discounted purchase option on the Awesome Sauce Java with Hot Sauce OS crowd funding campaign to those who've subscribed by email here.

A Day Away From a Glowing Screen

One thing I've noticed and written about having been whacked dramatically hard in the noggin' is that my focus works but doesn't. Learning what that means has taken observation and time. The difficulty is that I have to observe while I'm doing, but while I'm doing, I'm concentrating on what I'm doing, not on observing. Why do I suddenly feel like I'm writing what I read years ago from J. Krishnamurthi? Every once in a while, I do something that allows me to see detail from a different perspective.  When I'm really fortunate, I get the chance to see from a high-level perspective.  Like yesterday.  Because it helped me to see, again, how I focus on things that are mostly on the table in front of me. I took the day off from the computer yesterday and worked on paper.  It was depressing.  Because it highlighted how regimented and tiny my world is.  I have four places to go: the library, Whole Foods, Starbucks, & my racoon-stank room (that I...

I Was Studying Exceptions, But Got Confused, So I Luckily Designed The Code Editor Instead

I spend a lot of time doing nothing without realizing I'm doing nothing. Brain injuries are like that, I guess.  I don't think anybody knows crap about anything & 99% of life is made up and provably stupid.  Whatever.  I seem to get going between 1-4pm.  No matter how hard I try to get moving, I bounce between different tasks until the fear piques and I find something to work on and hopefully find my focus. Awesome Sauce grew too much, or too big, or my living situation is overwhelming, or something.  Because I went from highly productive to scattered right after my son fed me his mom's lentils and rice.  Hmm. That's like what happened after the cup of coffee at his piano teacher's apt. Whatever. Keep forgetting nobody cares.  Except for those people putting me on blast on their social media accounts.  I'm probably good entertainment because I'm blind and write a lot. Last week I started trying to build diagrams for Awesome Sauce Java. The...

Just a Short Update

I'm reorganizing. What that means is Awesome Sauce Java is going to become structured for release.  Since the release path is forked, the structure of the project has to provide easy configuration for shipping: Stand-alone, Java based Awesome Sauce Java apps. Hot Sauce OS style, all apps running in their own threads & managed by Hot Sauce, based configuration. So all the code is getting moved and re-Git-ified to make sure all the parts can play nice, regardless of which release is being built/updated/released. One of the things I was working on last night on the train was making sure that both release formats provide the ability to edit the application while it's running, even after release, should the developer want their users to be able to edit and modify their application. What this means is that applications need to be able to connect to the ASJ Editor or ASJ Interface Builder apps.  The app, say it's a spreadsheet, needs to be able to connect to the devel...
