This is the original sales pitch for this talk for The Raku Conference in Riga in August of 2023. The conference was cancelled, so this talk is presented here as a series of articles instead.
In this talk I'll present a system for making a stateless quiz application on the web, using Cro. The initial version requires the correct answer at each stage, before allowing you to go on. We'll set up a sample quiz as we go along.
Then I'll have a go at doing more complicated things, to see how far we can take this, while still being useful.
Question 1: Is it really stateless?
Answer: Yes. We do not save anything about the progress of the users
on the server.
Question 2: But the information embedded in the URLs that are passed to
the user and back again contain state, don't they?
Answer: Well. We do not save the state on the server, so the answer is
No.
Question 3: But the list of questions, the order, and the correct
answers are all stored on the server, and that surely is part of the state?
Answer: Go away.
This is a proposed talk for The Raku Conference in Riga in August of 2023.
