It is amazing how little amount of code is required to achieve what <a href="http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/2006-03-01/">S3</a> does.</p> <p>Another interesting aspect of <a href="http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/parkplace">Park Place</a> is that it uses <a href="http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/">Camping</a> microframework. <a href="http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/">Camping</a> is similar to <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Rails</a> in the sense that it is a web framework that utilize the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller">MVC</a> design pattern. It is small web framework that weighs less than 4k! It is described as "a little white blood cell in the vein of <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Rails</a>" on [Camping's][camp] wiki. You can see all the code in the framework in one page of your browser.</p> <p>You can actually migrate from <a href="http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/">Camping</a> to <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Rails</a> fairly easily. That got me thinking, maybe [Shoechicken][shoechicken] should use <a href="http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/">Camping</a> instead of <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Rails</a> to start with. We can then migrate to <a href="http://www.rubyonrails.org/">Rails</a> as the need arises.</p> Thu, 08 Mar 2007 08:17:00 -0500 urn:uuid:98b62579-955e-46e8-b7f3-d729200bf8ab Aaron Feng http://www.aaronfeng.com/articles/2007/03/08/host-your-own-amazon-s3 programming Amazon Park Place Camping Shoechicken
