Ask HN: Where are the gaps in my understanding as a new webdev?

1 pointsby SherlockeHolmesalmost 5 years ago
Yello! I am trying to build a data-visual interactive site. Here is what I got so far out of my research. I have included my idea of what the stack will look like. I am hoping for feedback that fills in gaps in understanding, shows alternatives&#x2F;better options, and more! Forgive any egregious oversights.<p>--- databases (tech not yet researched) --- core logic (tech: sbcl) --- server compute &amp; memory (aws?) --- routers&#x2F;switches&#x2F;network devices (tech: invented already at DARPA) --- client OS through access points on device (tech: variable) --- Client browsers (tech: engines and parsers for html, js, css) --- DOM (tech: put together by choices of models, views, and controllers using html, css, angular) --- User interface (tech: human)

One thought is that somewhere I&#x27;d need to translate the LISP objects into JS ones before putting them in the DOM. I think I would have to do this both before sending the JSON and after receiving it at the browser.<p>I came across Sibilant, which can do this for me on either side - I believe. Hoping to find out soon.
