One of our project requirements is to have a basic online schematic editor for electrical circuits. Therefore, it was my task this week to explore JointJS as the library that we will be using in order to build our editor. However, it needs to be built from inside a Witty Read more…
This week is one which is solely focused on Witty and it has been a rather interesting one because it is the one that I started realizing the great power that it comes with. I would still say that my understanding of it is just a mere scratch as the Read more…
Witty is a very large library that consist of different specific function a good web application will need. In this week I tested some of the function and try to create very simple function, like an application form of sorts. The structure of code in Witty is very different from Read more…
This first week of internship in AESTE has been a unique experience as I am already being prepared to do some real application. Firstly , learning Wt does comes with its own perks and also downsides. It is a relatively new web toolkit with its stable release only last year Read more…
By today, I have finished my first week at AESTE Works (M) Sdn Bhd. My name is Islam Abdalla and I’ve finished my third year in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, studying electrical and electronic engineering. Before starting here, I didn’t know exactly what to expect. The interview were somewhat technical, and Read more…
The journey of the 8 months internship has just begun in this week. The first day I had a warm welcoming and introduction of the project that I am assigned to. This moment was really priceless, because I really had been waiting for it for a long time. The Read more…
We are considering deploying Witty applications on OpenShift. In theory, it should be possible to do it but it’s still necessary to test things out. There are some unanswered questions on how such a deployment might work. This blog entry was very useful in getting things deployed on a DIY Read more…
While playing around with low-level Witty, I faced a serious issue of performance. For some reason, one of the operations that we were doing was taking a relatively long (1s) time to complete. This didn’t make sense as the operation itself was not particularly onerous.

Witty is great for creating complex web applications as it simplifies and automates a lot of the necessary back-end work. However, when all you need is simple HTTP request and response, things need to be modified slightly to have it work correctly. This is what happened when we needed some low-level access to the underlying web server.

For some reason, our new C++ web application kept segfaulting whenever the user closed the browser. We ignored this problem for a bit, while focusing on functional development. However, it is a nagging problem and I decided to take a look at it today. The good thing is that by Read more…
