NewsSmarty.NET - looking for a name Pin
drice8-Sep-14 13:53
drice8-Sep-14 13:53 
some, or many of you might be familiar with the name "Smarty". Orgiginally it comes from PHP, which is a "template"-language for Web-development. I did "smarty.php" for a couple of years before i quit WEB-development and decided to be for business apps and forth. Someday, SQL and other things where quite important for me and I h´ve had to do nothing more than to write IF´s and THEN´s and "AND" and something like that....being lost in the forest of code and SQL-statements I gave up.

Finally, I remembered ... there was somethihg I really liked.... And I decided to give "Smarty" a second face. That was the birth of "Smarty.NET". Since I am familiiar on how to write parsers/scanners (that´s what I´d im my youth often), it was a new challange for me.

Smarty.NET is a template language. You could read a Text-File with [$MyName} in it.
And {$MyName} will be replaced with "Your name". It supports alot!!!"! more, like reflection, objects, polymororphism. control structures, loops, whatever you like.
You can extend it very EASY and It will cost you ... nothing.

Acually, I do write most of my SQL-Queries and other stuff in Smarty.NET. One reason is: it is simple, small and smart.
Another benefit os: it is extendable with your own code.

A sample might be:

Output some other text above....
{if $Account=="ItIsMe"}
(OR {$MyVar+12*3})
{/if}
Output some other text below....


Or just

Hello, my name is {$Name}


What comes out now is one of the best things I ever did. Starting in 2002 with that project, I am here now.
Being alone with a great beast is the worst thing to experience.
We have one drawback. The original author of Smarty/PHP does not agree with me. So I am looking for a new, fresh and great name for the library.

Once, we have that name, I´ll be starting releasing it and writing articlS for it.

Cheers,
Andy
