Simple CGI programming

A simple HTTP server serves static HTML, Javascript, CSS, Images, etc. Sometimes you need a bit of dynamic content from the server-side. There are simple microframeworks to mega frameworks to achieve this. You could use any of these available web frameworks on the server side. But let’s say you don’t have access to any of those frameworks, and you want it to be simple and lightweight. You could try CGI.

Or you are just a web geek and want to spend an hour on old but interesting technology.

My Boring Yet Modern Web Starter Stack

Expo.io – Building Android and iOS Apps using React Native Made Easy

I have used MIT’s AppInventor in class rooms. All non-professional programmers appreciate how easy it is to use AppInventor to create apps. I have also seen lot of professionals using it to create one time use apps including me. It’s a great tool except you can’t generate an iOS app. On the side...
