My first web app
Today I fallowed a tutorial on YouTube provided by a small channel named Smoljames. In this tutorial I learned that I already knew all the pieces of this puzzle, I just had not pout it together yet.
Some sytex was very strange to me, like the way you can store HTML in java and manipulate it. It has been a long time since I last used java, and Smoljames made it feel like I was learning it for the first time. With use of “= = =” instead of “= =” in a if statement and how I needed to use the “back marks” (`) in reference to the html code. This is all strange to me, but it is exiting.
The video is found HERE, and my code can be found bellow. If you want to try the app out yourself, use this LINK. (I tried for 2 hours to get the server to allow an alias webpage, and failed with the help of chat gpt.)
About the my fail.
When I built the server, I meant for it to only be connected to via ssh only. I needed to upload the files, that wasnt a problem with the use of a flash drive. I had never used a flash drive on Linix before so I employed ChatGPT to give me the details. I then mounted the files and gave them a dir, but nothing. I have been talking with ChatGPT for a long time tonight, and I would like to go to bed. Wish me luck for next time!
