A project log for YASEP News archives

A backup of the blog before the host erases it. A good opportunity to review the development, twists and turns of this ISA !

So I've been busy again...

This time, it's all about JavaScript. The preliminary version is available
from http://yasep.org/~whygee/listed/listed.html

What is it really ? It's an interactive assembler in dynamic HTML, loaded with JavaScript and CSS stuff. It's also an interface to the JavaScript assembler and the simulator.

I have been working on this for more than 3 weeks and a lot of work still remains. I focus on user comfort and UI design but I keep flexibility and expandability in mind. For example, I have developped YGWM to handle the
windowing part, which will be reused by the whole yasep.org website. The
assembler and simulator will remain completely decoupled.

In the end, it only confirms what I believed for some time : JavaScript is a fantastic opportunity for really new ideas, it provides portability and rapid design. However, after trying to make it compatible with different browsers, my strong recommendation is : use Firefox and stick to it

Oh yes, LISTED was a great tool that needs to be rebuilt :-) But first I need to reboot YGWM, which has its own website now...
