1 Overview

Create a newsletter and a means to subscribe email addresses to an sqlite3 database.

You can subscribe here.

2 How the subscription process works

The HTML page will collect your full name and email address, and submit to an nginx endpoint configured as FastCGI. The FastCGI process is written in C with the fcgiapp library, and collects the POST submission.

Next it does a ”query string” parsing, and inserts into an sqlite3 database file.

Finally, a JSON fragment is output so that the browser (using jQuery) can update some status fields and let the user know if the process worked. (Subscription successful)

3 Next steps

Planning to provide more newsletters with tips on technology, and howtos.

Also to be discussed are various 3d printing projects.
