Rewriting Stuyvesant’s Computer Science Website
Posted in Left Brain on December 20th, 2009 by Jordan – Comments OffI have been given the responsibility of redesigning and rewriting Stuyvesant High School’s computer science website (cs.stuy.edu).
We are leaning towards writing a bare-bones server using Python’s WSGI specification. The specifics are still being worked out, but this new web presence will need to:
- Serve a “presentable” site to the public complete with teacher bios, course descriptions, syllabus, and possibly a calendar.
- Serve special class pages with editable sections and some sort of source code browser to authenticated users.
Since every teacher at Stuy would rather edit files in Emacs than bother with a buggy AJAX admin interface, most configuration and static content will be kept in plain-text files. Again, the specifics have not been worked out. More to come!
