Used by technology blogger John Gruber, "The Location Field is the New Command Line", is a programmer's reflection of the movement, and related tensions, of application development away from the single PC to the network.

Topics:

  • argparse to build your own Python scripts with options
  • What is CGI?

Contrast / connect the commandline with:

  • An Inkscape effect ("old school" application)
  • Modern web API, and RSS Feeds

Exercise: Turning a simple Python script into a CGI script (dynamic web page)
