eke

eke is a Unix-style command-line tool for teachers.

Status: very very early development / experimental / toy project

the idea

eke is a command line tool to manage classes, students, courses, marks, notes, ...

eke has a convenient command structure and relies heavily on bash's tab-/autocompletion feature.

eke is the frontend for a text-file-based "database"1 , typically in $XDG_DATA_HOME/eke/ (where $XDG_DATA_HOME defaults to $HOME/.local/share).

the name

eke [eke] is the name of the school where I teach.

It stands for Elektrotechnik, Kommunikation und Elektronik (german for Electrical Engineering, Communication, and Electronics).

The string eke has two important properties:

  • it is short
  • there is no (known or important, to my knowledge) Linux/Unix tool with that name

From now on eke stands for the recursive acronym: eke klassroom engine.

the development

Thoughts:

  • I know C, Python, Pascal (Delphi), ... quite well.
  • I know C#, Java, JavaScript, ... a little.
  • I do not know zig
  • I am curious about zig
  • I want to learn something new (maybe zig?)
  • I am not in a hurry,... I have a working system for the things eke should do

Let's Learn zig.

  1. text-file-based is important, because its easy to view them on any system it does not depend on any "tool", ... here text-file-based includes: csv files, ini-style files, markdown, yaml, ... ↩︎
