JW Broadcasting and JW.ORG Websites Merged

[Newtonian]

994 languages!- there is a separate thread on this.

[Luigi62]

Part 2 of the 2018 AGM Bro Lett said jw.org would merge with tv.jw.org. And the JW Library App would include publications from watchtower library offline. He mentioned nothing about WOL merging with JW.org

Sooner or later the online library will be merged as it was said, as I remember. Just need to wait.

Go watch part 2 of the 2018 AGM 25 minutes in bro lett talks about the merger

The question is about the computer language running the server for the website ... not the many human languages available on the site

Friends, the changes made will only affect the website. The apps for our devices should still work as normal as the changes made only affect where the videos are coming from. That's all done behind the scenes. No one is canceling or discontinuing JW Broadcasting.

Nothing changed behind the web (where the videos are coming from) we have a new location to download them.

Sorry, I don't think I have ever downloaded anything from WOL. I didn't even know that was possible.

I always downloaded all publications from JW.org.

Samesame here...

 

When the JWLibrary was first introduced it was a bit clunky for me to use, I found WOL to be much better/easier for me to use/navigate, but I never d/l anything from it, only from JW.org...

Ruby on Rails?

 

Could post an image of Ruby as well as the railroad she was on?

Ruby is the language. Ruby on Rails is the framework. So there's no more confusion. A framework is a library of code, such as scripts, modules, apps, things made to work together for your site or application. That way you don't have to re-invent the wheel. Bootstrap, Rails, Drupal, etc; are all frameworks. The difference between them is the programming languages. Boostrap uses HTML/JS/CSS, Drupal is PHP, Rails is Ruby, there's several others out there. Server-side Languages vs front-end languages, basically means what they're used for. While CSS/JS/HTML are used to make sites pretty, appearance, and small scripts. They can be seen in source-code because they're simply for what the user sees. Things like PHP/Ruby/MySQL, etc are used for the back-end or server-side. The code is kept hidden and only seen by the developer or webmaster, because it is the what creates the site and makes it run. Having this visibile opens a site to exploits and hacking. All of these are scripting languages. Then you have software languages (C++/C/Java/etc) that are used for things other than websites. Machine languages (binary/assembly). For the purpose of what I was asking...

 

 I simply wanted to know if they used a framework, code already created, and just customized and fit to their use with their own scripts. Or if they coded everything by hand in whatever language they chose, and have their own libraries.

 

That should clear up any confusion.

I amm happy to have it explained. I thought Ruby On Rails was a coutry western song.

They are not third-party. They are produced completely by our organisation. They will not be affected by the sites merging.

Well, they are third-party in the sense that they were created by us to use on the Roku, Apple, and Amazon platforms.

Hm, did they make it from scratch or are they using something like bootstrap? 

😵   Ok, 1 thing at a time.

https://getbootstrap.com/

Bootstrap is an open source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS.

Sigh, more digging to do. ⛏️

It is like a shop that has several entrance doors.  One of the doors is being boarded up, but you can still go in and shop.  You just have to use a different door (JW.ORG).

Absolutely!

 

Thanks, Sis, for explaining that,  I am ever more thankful that you are here and actually know what you're talking about...

 

Now, where's the pull rope so I can start my laptop? Maybe it's a kick start?...

There are a lot of topics about the merge... Could we merge them?

 

Some of them will burn out soon....

[Intercore]

Maybe I recall wrong... But wasn't it said in jw.org as the announcement a year ago about jw.org, tv.jw.org and wol.jw.org being merged (not that word was said but we understand now)?

Go watch part 2 of the 2018 AGM. Only JW.org and TV.JW.org are to merge not WOL.

I'm working on the lyrics. It will be about dogs, trucks, whiskey, trains and a girl named Ruby...

Everyone watch this.

Yes, well, just like Watchtower Library m was created by us to use on Windows, but not in the sense that it was created by anyone else to use our services.

[spoken] That's a lot to get into one song. ... Mothers, prison, trucks, trains, farms, .. and dead dogs are essential, you can't have a good country song without them things.

Oops like a train that has run off its tracks.

There are also Python/Django, Go/Revel, Java plus several web frameworks. As you may know, Python/Django are more popular than Ruby on Rails. I have also seen a report on Go having the potential of becoming the top backend lang in the near future. So brothers might have used one of these too. To find out for sure, I think giving them a phone call would be the best option. I don't think they would hide it from the public.
