Merry Christmas to all!
I want to start learning how to present information using a web browser. Yes, I'm a total beginner. Do you know how I can start?
Let's start off with something simple. The requirements:
1. I have only background in C++ and I use g++ in Linux to write stand-alone executable.
2. Say I can write a program that display the epoch time std::time() on the terminal in which the program is run, refreshed every second. Wow!
3. Here comes what I want to learn. I want to present the information from the Linux program on a web browser instead of the terminal, close to real-time, on multiple web browsers (clients). Login is not yet required, just an URL:port will do.
4. In the web browser, I want a little control to suspend and resume refreshing, only affecting the current web browser instance of course.
5. Maybe later, I want to make the presentation on the web browser look good.
Please teach me, or if there is already a working example.
This is not a homework for school. I'm too old for that. But everyone starts somewhere, and I want to start in this Christmas.
