Experience with AOLServer

I have used AOLServer on top of FreeBSD to design an online shop ( Simple Option ). Basically it's a site that interacts with a database, using the great AOLServer database access API. Also, I use many other modules like nssession to track users. And all of this is acomplished in around 2K lines of code.

Also, the raw-text visit logs are processed, and logged into a database, and later are processed via AOLServer + GdTclFt to create graphs, and give many other statistics of the usage.

The advantages of AOLServer for this kind of project is the easyness of programming, since TCL is an excellent language if you want to work with strings (that is, HTML), and AOLServer lets me have a really easy and efficient access to several databases in the application. This combination lets me focus in the real problem, and not in the pure technical side of it.

As a side note, the expertise that you get by using TCL can be reused later when programming TK applications for desktop.
