The next online meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London will be:

Building RISC OS Online
Presented by Gerph

Monday 16th November 2020, 7:45pm

Online via Zoom, meeting open from 7.30pm

http://www.rougol.jellybaby.net/meetings/


After many years away, Gerph made a welcome return to the RISC OS world on
the 1st April this year with JFPatch-as-a-service. But this was no April
Fool, and he plans to develop it further into an online RISC OS build
tool.

JFPatch started life in 1995, when he needed a way to build modules easily without writing all that boilerplate. This was in the days when software
could be downloaded from BBSs and email was genuinely newfangled. Jump
forward 25 years, and cloud systems are everywhere and online applications
give you everything you want. Running 25 year old software as a cloud
service seems like it's a bit of a niche area, but it hides some clever technology.

Although the service itself was written in about 20 days, it builds upon a year's work to get to that point. Gerph will talk about why he started
doing RISC OS things again, quite a bit about how the service and front
end works, and a little about how other people might use it. There will be
a demonstration of the service and of the underlying technologies, and he
will take questions from the talk afterwards.
