Hi Noob,
I'm very new to Racket and the community as well. I happen to agree that the
web development docs could use some improvement. However, I'm not sure tweaking
the one person that is in the best position to help you is wise. Further, from
what I have seen so far, Jay is very objective in

Otherwise, can you also say what you expected to see?

Is this valid behavior?

Would it be possible for programmer to provide a name generator, so
that you could have pretty urls of the form:
foo.com/session/175
You'd have to ensure in the web server that there weren't conflicts
with the names currently being managed, but it seems plausible.

But, if you would like to have more traditional URLs in addition to the
continuation/cryptic ones, you can use the web-server/dispatch library:

It starts with a bit of guide to orient you before the reference manual.
It allows you to create UR

Yes they do. The URLs are ugly *because* they are cryptic. They are
cryptic because it is a route to system security. If they were
pretty, people could guess them, and that would adversely affec
Hey Niel, I'm not your enemy (just annoys me that do not understand anything),
but poor documentation surely is.
Regarding this "big and complicated thing": the Windows API, for example, is
ugly and complicated. Yet, legendary Charles Petzold managed to write a very

Let me react just to what's being said here, though I am not familiar
with any of the documents mentioned.
I've found that what's often missing in documentation written by
programmers is that it's too nose-to-the-ground. Once you understand
what's going on, it's excellent in telling you the de

Dear Racket Noon, thank you for outspoken criticism. There is no question that
all of our documentation and writing could be improved so that a lot more
people can understand the basics. So here is a proposal:

Dear Racketeers, I think I am a man of average intelligence. I have read, for
