Dyno CGI
About Dyno CGI
Dyno CGI is a set of C++ classes and code that let you do some pretty cool CGI web server applications using normal HTML pages as look-and-feel templates, and simple C++ code that sticks dynamic data into those pages "on-the-fly". Making your web site serve pages this way has some nice benefits:
- Your HTML guru can work on the HTML that creates the look-and-feel. Your code guru can work on the code that gets the dynamic data. They don't step on each other's toes. They just have to agree on a name for each piece of dynamic data that will be fed to the browser. Dyno CGI ties the two pieces together painlessly.
- If you find yourself copying and pasting similar (not even necessarily the identical) data across multiple web pages, creating a maintenance headache, and making you dread the thought of tweaking a common item across all those pages, Dyno CGI solves your problem by letting you define template HTML pages whose contents you tweak on the fly.
