Description

I think that Continue, as a flagship tutorial for Racket, needs new sections to cover changes in web development practice especially supporting client side web frameworks(angular,Ember,Vue,React) by building backends that support XMLHttpRequest/WebSockets/Fetch. Other possibilities include

  • developing with client side racket (RacketScript, Urlang, Whalesong?)
  • authentication (both doing it yourself, or using OpenID to)
  • creating and accessing web API's like AWS, twitter etc.

I think the best way to do this would be to develop a tutorial in the style of Continue, then it could be linked from, or integrated into the Continue tutorial.

Any thoughts? Is this a good or bad idea? Would it be better to focus community effort elsewhere?

Kind regards,

Stephen

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Continue tutorial and comparing it with the proposed topics: client-side frameworks, XMLHttpRequest/WebSockets/Fetch, client-side Racket, authentication, and web APIs. Done would require an agreed scope and a tutorial in the Continue style that is either linked from or integrated into Continue.
