A practical LAML programming exercise

In this part of the seminar we will develop some aspects of a LAML-based WWW site

  • Handling of bookmarks:

    • Motivation: It is not practical to bind WWW bookmarks to a single machine nor to a single browser

    • We will assume that we maintain a list of bookmark entries, each of the form

      • (bookmark URL title category comment)

      • The first constituent is a symbol (tag) and the others are text strings.

    • The exercise: Given a list of bookmarks make a frame-based bookmark browser

This exercise illustrates LAML programming - not really programmatic authoring - due the very structured nature of the problem domain.
