Date: Tue, 1 Feb 1994 17:44:31 GMT [[This is a regular posting to comp.programming.literate]] New items since last posting [January '94] ordered by time of update: .................................................................... * List of new books by D.E. Knuth [Getting Start(l)ed Page] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Literate Programming on the World Wide Web ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FYI, there is a wealth of information on Literate Programming, the art of structured programming and documentation [like WEB-like systems with (La)TeX formatting] available on the World Wide Web [WWW], a distributed HyperText system, a network of documents connected by links which can be activated electronically. Examples for LitProg environments are WEB for Pascal (DEK), CWEB for C/C++ (Levy/Knuth), FWEB for C/C++/Fortran/ratfor/TeX (Krommes), various language independent tools...and much more. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * How to get to the Web ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have a WWW browser up and running, try going to http://info.desy.de/general/users.html and look for "Literate Programming" in the panel which appears. The precise URL is http://info.desy.de/user/projects/LitProg.html If you have no clue what WWW is, you can go over the Internet with telnet info.cern.ch which brings you to the WWW Home Page at CERN. You are now using the simple line mode browser. To move around the Web, enter the numbers given after an item. To go to the Literate Programming documents, enter go http://info.desy.de/user/projects/LitProg.html This is what you should see now: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * What you will see here ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Getting Start(l)ed[2] A first look into Literate Programming with WEB Course[3] Planned introductory Internet course on Literate Programming. Editing[4] GNU Emacs mode for WEB programming Tools[5] Common, freely available Literate Programming environments Examples[6] Literate Programming archives and selected examples Discussion[7] Discussion on LitProg on a mailing list and a newsgroup LitProg Library[8] George D. Greenwade's Literate Programming Library at Niord.shsu.edu. Experimental service: Archive Search[9] FAQs[10] Lists of Frequently Asked Questions: General and FWEB Further Reading Nelson Beebe's Literate Programming bibliography at ftp.math.utah.edu in directory /pub/tex/bib[11] (files litprog.*) HyperLitProg[12] Literate Programming using HyperText[13] Techniques OO-LitProg[14] Thoughts on Object-Oriented[15] Literate Programming [[Now you can continue climbing down the documentation tree by entering numbers 1-15 and follow your own interests]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * More on Browsing the Web ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A very nice way of "browsing" through WWW uses X-based tools like "tkWWW" or "NCSA Mosaic". For the latter, binaries for many platforms (ready for use) and sources are available via anonymous FTP from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu in directory Web/Mosaic-binaries. The general FTP repository for browser software is info.cern.ch (including a hypertext browser/editor for NeXTStep 3.0) If you cannot go through TELNET, you can still retrieve WWW documents by e-mail: send a mail to listserv@info.cern.ch with a line in it saying just HELP to get back detailed instructions. Your mail system must have a mail gateway to the internet mail. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Contact for Further Information ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please feel free to contact me for questions, suggestions and further contributions, or just to tell me whether you found this information useful in any way. For questions related to WWW, consult the WWW-FAQ: available via anonymous FTP from rtfm.mit.edu in directory pub/usenet/news.answers/www/faq, or on WWW at URL http://www.vuw.ac.nz:80/who/Nathan.Torkington/ideas/www-faq.html Enjoy.
