Amiga Coding WIKI
« on: September 27, 2007, 09:17:34 PM »

Something I wanted to do for some time now,
was to set up an website about coding on the Amiga.
I was unsure about the format so I had abandoned the idea.

Lately I've been playing around with WIKI's. (at work)
For those who don't know it, a WIKI is an open system in which people
can do things like add/edit/link/discuss pages, upload pictures.
(and see all changes made and revert them if needed)

My interest in setting up a website about Amiga coding was resparkled
with Andrew's quest for an AMOS database and someone on English Amiga Board
asking where to get info about learning 680x0 asm.
So I though an WIKI would be a good system because it's open and
it's not dependant on one person spending large amounts of time collecting all info.

Maybe info from the WIKI could be exported later for offline use,
like for in Andrew's database project.

Anyway this is the address for the WIKI:

http://www.amigacoding.com/



Feel free to edit, add or discuss about articles.
You won't need to login for reading, but you do need to login for editting.

These two pages on Wikipedia tell on which codes you can use in articles:

Very cool!  Will this be a repository for all languages?  I see AMOS and 680x0 assembly, but could I add info on C/C++?

Yes, I hope so (that it will be for more languages). However I've only got experience with AMOS(Pro) and 680x0 assembly, so I have to rely on others willing to help with other languages.
If you want to add info go right ahead :). Any help/additions are appreciated!

I'd like it though if you prefix pages-names about C/C++ with C:, like this:
[[C:a page about C|A page about C/C++]]

The name of the article you're linking to is before the pipe character (|), and the part after is what's shown in the article. This way the WIKI knows to which language an article belongs, making it possible to search through articles of a specific language.

It would be cool, but there are so many programming languages on the Amiga:


AMOS Basic
Blitz Basic
Amiga Basic
Rexx
ARexx
C/C++
E
Assembly


and possibly more...

My main targets are AMOS(Pro) and 680x0 assembler. For other languages I'll only add links.
But I'm hoping others will add more info.

When the mainpage gets too big, I'll split up the menu's for each language
(like maybe amos.amigacoding.com / 68k.amigacoding.com / c.amigacoding.com)
and link to each section on the mainpage.
