- Every website or web application is one star in this space.
|
||
- There are many combinations that work well. While others no so much.
|
||
- We all plot our path in this space. And have our current home there.
|
||
- There are clusters in this space, i.e. the React-Cluster, oder Angular or Vue.
|
||
- My current home is in the L-O-B with Go and Vue vicinity.
|
||
- There is an old Cluster called Hypermedia. Where all Webapps once lived.
|
||
- Hypermedia has developed a new bulge called HTMX.
|
||
- Next to it is a new tiny blob, called Datastar.

# Part 1: SQLite:
|
||
### It is fast, feature complete* and rock solid.
|
||
<div class="mt-10"/>
|
||
|
||
## It is not SQ-Lite, it is SQL-ite
|
||
|
||
Since everybody knows SQLite, today just a few highlights:
|
||
|
||
- It has JSON and JSONB as built-in data types.
|
||
- It has 29 new functions to extract from JSON or to create JSON objects.
|
||
- It's CTEs make SQL Turing complete.
|
||
- The SQLite CLI can be used to execute "SQL-scripts". See demo.
|
||
|
||
\* It lacks features essential for a client-server environment, primarily multi-user concurrent write access,
|
||
built-in security and user management, and some advanced data types.
|
||
|
||
<div class="mt-40"/>
|
||
|
||
<div> * from my pov and for my needs and purposes</div>

<div class="mt-10"/>
|
||
|
||
Features:
|
||
- Simplified Database Lifecycle Management.
|
||
- A 'Record' Data Type for Generic Data Handling.
|
||
- High-Level CRUD Operations.
|

|
||
- Abstraction and Safety.
|

# Part 3: Developing a Web Server Application in Go.
|
||
|
||
<div class="mt-10"/>
|
||
|
||
Why Go?
|
||
|
||
- Go is a compiled language that generates native machine code.
|
||
- Go's core strength is its built-in, lightweight concurrency model using goroutines and channels.
|
||
- Go has a small, well-defined specification and a deliberately simple syntax.
|
||
- The standard library is comprehensive, especially for web development.
|
||
- Go compiles into a single, static binary with no external dependencies.
|
||
- Go is simple, just 25 reserved words in the language.
|
||
- Can embed the database engine (modernc/sqlite)
|
||
- Can serve static code from embeded folders and files.
|
||
- Can embed other resources, like sql files or template files.
|
||
- Has a built-in templating engine.

# Part 4: Datastar
|
||
|
||
## Build reactive web apps that stand the test of time
|
||
Datastar is a lightweight framework for building everything from simple sites to real-time collaborative web apps.
|
||
|
||
<div class="mt-10"/>
|
||
|
||
Quote Gillian Delany:
|
||
|
||
> The problem is Datastar is actually a backend agnostic backend framework with a 10 Kb shim. There has never been anything like it in practice. So it is hard to explain.

# Hypermedia
|
||
|
||
- The Representation is the Data: The representation (e.g., the HTML document) delivered from the server to the client contains all the data needed for that specific application state.
|
||
|
||
- Presentation and Links are Embedded: Crucially, not only is the raw data embedded, but also the presentation instructions (via CSS or HTML structure) and, most importantly for the workflow, the hypermedia controls (links and forms) that define the next possible state transitions.
|
||
|
||
- Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State (HATEOAS): This is the central feature of the workflow. The representations sent from the server must include hyperlinks and/or forms that indicate the valid next state transitions (the available actions) the client can take. The client does not use pre-compiled knowledge of the workflow; it is driven by the links provided in the current document.

# Learn Some Templating System:
|
||
<div class="mt-10"/>
|
||
|
||
| Concept | Example | Meaning |
|
||
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
|
||
| **Interpolation** | `{{ name }}` | Insert value of `name` |
|
||
| **Loop** | `{% for item in items %}...{% endfor %}` | Repeat block for each item |
|
||
| **Condition** | `{% if logged_in %}Welcome{% endif %}` | Conditional rendering |
|
||
| **Include** | `{% include 'header.html' %}` | Reuse a subtemplate |
|
||
| **Escaping** | `{{{ raw_html }}}` or `{{& raw_html}}` | Control HTML escaping |

# Templating and Hypermedia:
|

<div class="mt-10"/>
|
||
|
||
| | Templating | Hypermedia as the Engine of Application State |
|
||
| --------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------ |
|
||
| Input | Data | Data + available transitions |
|
||
| Output | Document (HTML) | Document representing a state with actions |
|
||
| Function | Bind data to structure | Bind state transitions to structure |
|
||
| Goal | Present information | Drive navigation and state evolution |
|
||
| Mechanism | Placeholder substitution | Link/form embedding |
|
||
| Example | `{{.Title}}` → “Article” | `<a href="{{.Links.Edit}}">Edit</a>` |
