+keyword

Minimal Sqlite support

Laurent Bedubourg — Thu, 3 Aug 2006 17:42:02 +0200

hxBlog now supports sqlite database backend.

The search feature wont work right now with sqlite because hxBlog search queries are based on mysql fulltext search features...

A postgresql backend should be supported as soon as haxe will include a postgresql driver.

The db attribute of the config.xml file must be modified to specify the wanted database driver :

<config 
db="mysql://user:pass@hostname:3306/dbname"
...
db="sqlite://myblogfile.db"
...
/>

This summer is really hot, after a hard coding day, you may like to change from the usual beer pint, share a refreshing mojito-time with your friends :

4/5 centiliters of good rhum (forget this if you are underage, it also works without rhum)
2 centiliters of green lemon juice (or a gree lemon slice)
1 small spoon of sugar
some fresh mint leafs
ice
fill the glass with SevenUp (or Perrier)

Comments are now sent to the blog administrator who just have to click on a accept/reject link to validate the comment from his mailer.

This feature can be activated from the config file.

Vulgarum programum : what is haXe ?

Laurent Bedubourg — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 14:40:31 +0200

haXe is a recent programming language which can target the following platforms :

standalone executable : haXe can create an executable for your operating system (windows, linux, mac Os, ...)
neko bytecode : much like java .jar files, you can execute this bytecode using the nekovm executable, shipped with any decent haXe installation, as a regular program or using mod_neko on your apache web server (yes, I mean a Web application),
Flash SWF, instead of coding in ActionScript, you program in haxe and create an SWF linked with the gfx you like,
Javascript, you program in haxe and haxe creates a ready to use .js file you can integrate in your web application

HaXe is strongly typed, but using type inference it can detect by itself which is the type of your variables. Thus you don't have to type every variable you are declaring.

Because haxe acts as a compiler, it will detect syntax errors or type errors. This is immediate and will save you many little syntax bugs PHP, Python, or Perl programmers encounter everyday.

Of course, haXe supports nearly every OO features you can dream of (and more) :

packages, class, interfaces, typedefs, structures
statics, private, public, protected, override,
getters, setters,
exceptions,
extended enums (not C int enums),
generic programming (C++/java/C# templates)
...

You will quickly feel comfortable with haXe because its syntax is between the usual java and ecma syntax.

Least but not the last, haXe comes with enough library to create almost any application and this library base is growing quickly !

The haXe compiler is a GPL program available for windows, linux, macOs, ...
