Abstract: I will give an overview of the workings of Dash and the small
"librarydemo" application demonstrated previously. The talk will be
slightly technical in nature, although no programming experience is
required. It will mostly concern the layout of the menus and the items
and what happens when you click on an item to start a program. It will
also cover what other porgrams are used in making the demo and a little
bit about how they work (these include the console program, shell
scripts, X window dumps, xinfo and others).
To try out the demo on an Athena machine, type:
add library ; librarydemo
This will run a small demo application that will let you see the
library's hours and connect to OWL, etc. This could, with a little
work, be turned into a service that the library provides.
If you play with it and wonder to yourself "how does this work?" then
this talk is for you.
