eXistential Angle Bracket Markup Under a Long White Cloud

As I reboot and build and add features to this site, I am documenting some of the tools and tech I use in a series of articles.

My aim is to build/establish a simple modern html5 front-end development enviroment, that ( at the backend ) can utilise Nginx as a reverse proxy and cache server for the eXist-db Application Server. eXist-db can provide a XML document-oriented schema-less data-store and an xQuery engine to access and transform our stored data.

At the mo, other projects I am working on.

  1. NZ based stock market selector/filter and retirement portfolio site. A data driven info site with comparative tables, SVG graphs etc

  2. Music Collection App. A single page app that is served from a networked juke-box server. The networked juke-box server: A URL attached to a piece of hardware that plays music - Suitable for cafes, flats, home etc.

  3. A ready-to-go Blog Site exist-db package. Follows the blog pattern: home (top summaries ) | archives ( permalink date stamped urls, tag and category views ) | about-me
