ToolKit Description

Developer's Tools

The goal for a complete developer's kit includes:

• a series of sample demonstration sites of increasing complexity
• an SDK skeleton for building new sites with Araelium Edit, Eclipse, GoLive, Dreamweaver or others
• an extensive BBEdit glossary

Additionally, I've begun to design an interactive Toolset that can be used to generate config files, code, and file sets based on some inputs. For example, one tool will read a data table schema and generate a beginning tableModel_ config file. Another tool would read a completed tableModel_ file and generate the model custom type code. Back in 2001 I created a tool that generated an entire default site worth of folders, stub files, and content files for a 1st generation Corral Method type of site. Likewise I have a schema reading tool which extracts data table information. Combining what has been in these areas with something similar to my WorkBench, it would be possible to build a studio type of application that would save time writing many common files. I've also started to play with using Python to build command-line based tools as well.
