Oily Rag

[Ric]

I am neither a programmer nor writer, more a rambler and hacker, found a nice toy to play with. For the first time I have written a Windows program, well sort off, the toy turns out to be a very powerful scripting language that even I can understand and use to program something of a windows nature.

 

Thought I would share my findings by writing an Oily Rag mini-series, Olajide has allowed me to ramble on. Not sure if anyone is interested in this type of write-up or will even find it of any use.

 

Uniform Server is probably the only WAMP package to be found on the Internet that has this accessibility for grass roots hacking; by this I mean tailoring to your own requirements and needs.

 

All the best

I have just published the final part. Probably not the best way to do things! Write and learn at the same time, however I was impressed with AutoIt, if you know a little bit of scripting language of any sort, you can script a windows app very easily with this.

 

The controller I produced is for testing only; it allows you to explore possibilities.

I think what it shows is just how flexible Uniform Server really is, again I say a credit to the design team because it allows in-depth hacking. You can mould and tailor it do basically what you like.

 

All the best
