Ask HN: Where are the gaps in my understanding as a new webdev?
Yello! I am trying to build a data-visual interactive site. Here is what I got so far out of my research. I have included my idea of what the stack will look like. I am hoping for feedback that fills in gaps in understanding, shows alternatives/better options, and more! Forgive any egregious oversights.
---
databases (tech not yet researched)
---
core logic (tech: sbcl)
---
server compute & memory (aws?)
---
routers/switches/network devices (tech: invented already at DARPA)
---
client OS through access points on device (tech: variable)
---
Client browsers (tech: engines and parsers for html, js, css)
---
DOM (tech: put together by choices of models, views, and controllers using html, css, angular)
---
User interface (tech: human) One thought is that somewhere I'd need to translate the LISP objects into JS ones before putting them in the DOM. I think I would have to do this both before sending the JSON and after receiving it at the browser. I came across Sibilant, which can do this for me on either side - I believe. Hoping to find out soon.
