Obyx

Getting started with the Obyx programming language.

Obyx is a very simple language to get started with. There are only a few considerations and pre-requisits to meet before you can get started. These are:-

• A XML editor, though any text editor works fine.
• A computer running either MacOSX or a recent version of linux.

For the XML editor we recommend oXygen. oXygen is not free however it has fantastic features. For co-programming, SubEthaEdit is really excellent. We use also vi, TextEdit, BBEdit, XCode - so use whatever you prefer, or have available!

As for a machine that is running it you have two options. If you are just starting out with Obyx we suggest that you use one of our premade images on Amazon Web Services found here. Amazon will charge you a fee for using this image. It is about 10¢ per hour. This image contains a working obyx cgi binary and a working obyx fast cgi binary. An apache webserver, and lots of working examples that you can feel free to modify and play with!

The alternative is that you use your own machine or a virtual machine. It is easy enough to use this route also - you will probably want to start by reading the installation documents.

You are now ready proceed down one of two routes.
