TiddlyWiki
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
TiddlyWiki (http://www.TiddlyWiki.com/) is a kind of wiki that typically is edited by only one person and is completely self-contained in a single web page. It uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript code. TiddlyWiki is open source and supported by many extensions and plugins that modify how it works or what it can do.
Using a TiddlyWiki to build a web page is a good idea because:
- it's fun
- it's simple to create
- it's simple to update
- it's simple to customise
- it's an innovative way of presenting text
This book will serve a reference for people who want to learn to read, write, customise or develop/code a TiddlyWiki. No technical knowledge will be assumed. Screenshots will be used liberally for faster learning, and the reader is encouraged to tinker with their own TiddlyWiki while reading this book.
