Hi,

While looking at an issue with the rendering of the Continue tutorial, I
got to thinking that Continue, as a flagship tutorial for Racket, needs new
sections to cover changes in web development practice, especially
supporting client side web frameworks(angular,Ember,Vue,React) by building
backends that support XMLHttpRequest/WebSockets/Fetch. Other possibilities
include
- developing with client side racket (RacketScript, Urlang, Whalesong?)
- authentication (both doing it yourself, or using OpenID to)
- creating and accessing web API's like AWS, twitter etc.
- custom #lang's or eDSL's to support the above (either highlighting
existing ones or creating new ones)

I think the best way to do this would be to develop a tutorial in the
_style of_ Continue, then it could be linked from, or integrated into the
Continue tutorial.

Any thoughts? Is this a good or bad idea? Would it be better to focus
community effort elsewhere?

Kind regards,

Stephen
