Hi, Mike!

I think we have a problem with this badge. Investigating. Thanks for the feedback!

And another way to win - to have clear instructions.

Often fantastic applications with bad instructions can loose to poor applications with perfect instructions.

Please make sure that the instructions you have in your README.md really work.

It is always helpful to try to go through your instruction steps by yourself before releasing the application. Or and ask your colleague to do it.

Good luck!

May I use your solution to check the blocks of the IRIS database which I launch in Docker?

Another thing you may want to add to your OEX and Github README.md - is the Online Contest Github shield!

Here is how it looks like:

Here is the code you can install into your Github README.md

Thanks, Dmitriy!

Analysing database, If you mean this:

docker run -it --rm \        -v /opt/some/database/for/test:/db \        -v pwd/out:/out \        daimor/blocksexplorer:iris generate 1 0 0

so this doesn't look very convenient.

Is it possible for me to install your app on a running container (e.g. with ZPM) and request to check one of the mounted databases? This is a more convenient approach, isn't it?

This is a very good question, Ed!

Yes, when you launch a vanilla IRIS CE on docker you have USER namespace and database already. 

But what is the web app? is it REST? do you need the web app at all? 

The infrastructure-as-a-code approach, when the namespace, database, web app, security, BI or Interoperability options, etc is being setup via docker/workflow deployment has the following advantages.

1. Clear understanding, what infrastructure is needed for your app to run on the dev/deployment lifecycle

2. You have the control for the infrastructure - you do not expect USER namespace present or have this or that, you simply set up all your app needs.

3. All the changes to infrastructure are in the repo and you track it.

Dmitry!

This is a very beautiful (maybe) but IMHO absolutely useless picture of globals' blocks.

How can I use your program to show the blocks of a particular database I working on now? 

Or a particular global?

Also we will make posts on your applications in DC Social media channels: Twitter, Facebook, DC Telegram,
and LinkedIn. We will do it in the order you submitted the apps: earlier submitted, earlier posted in social media. And will spread it through 5 working days of the week.

How to test 

According to the requirements, developers should use Docker version of InterSystems IRIS Community edition or InterSystems IRIS Community Edition for Health. 

So every solution could be launched as:

$ git clone https://github.com/repository
$ cd repository
$ docker-compose up -d
$ docker-compose exec iris iris session iris

And then you'll see the IRIS Terminal where you can follow the application instruction to test its functionality.

Winner criteria
Choose the application you like most. But the general criteria are:

  1. Idea and value - the app makes the world a better place or makes the life of a developer better at least;
  2. Functionality and usability - how well and how much the application/library does;
  3. The beauty of code - has a readable and qualitative ObjectScript code.

The post is updated accordingly.

Thank you, Jeff!

Yes!

Developers! The repository is fully prepared for collaboration! Your forks and Pull Requests are very welcome!

Thank you, Joe!

This is a rather simple example but it could be a good beginning in working with COVID-19 data with InterSystems IRIS on a local machine and docker container along with a GitHub Actions deployment workflow to Google Kubernetes cloud.

Hi Kevin! When you copy the external content to DC, please provide the link to the source, e.g. documentation, article or Wikipedia. For example this your comment is mostly copied from Wikipedia site. This is relevant, but please include the source.

Hi Gethsemani!

It looks like we have shut down this demo server.

But you can test it on your laptop easily. 

Testing with Docker: 

0. Install Docker desktop

0.1. Install VSCode and Open it and install  Docker and ObjectScript plugins.

1. Download this archive.

2. Unpack and open the folder in VSCode.

3. Right-click on Docker-compose.yml and choose Compose Restart. Wait for docker says in terminal "done".

4. Connect VSCode - click on the "disconnected" status bar and then choose "Refresh Connection".

5. You will see IRIS Terminal. Open ZPM (package manager) and install samples-bi module.

Node: 04319ab688f6, Instance: IRIS

IRISAPP>zpm
zpm: IRISAPP>install samples-bi

6. Then install DeepSee Web

zpm: IRISAPP>install dsw

7. Click on VSCode bar again and open Management Portal. It will be another port in your case.

Open DSW web-app in IRISAPP namespace with default credentials:

Then you will see DSW working in action:

HTH

I want to describe the idea more.

Rosetta Code - is the site with implementations of the same algorithms in different languages.

E.g. check Python - and see hundreds of algorithms implemented.

And check ObjectScript - not that much, but some have an implementation in Python and ObjectScript.

E.g. here is MD5 implementation in ObjectScript and in Python

What you could do is:

Take the algorithm implemented in Python or other languages and introduce the implementation in ObjectScript.

And you are very welcome to participate in the contest with such a project.
