Why is WebWindows a Good Idea?
Most importantly, WebWindows defines a much higher level and service-oriented interface for the programmer
- You are perhaps a factor of 10 more “productive” than when programming directly to guts of UNIX or Windows
It is based on open interfaces and so instead of one entity producing a complete application
- As Microsoft does with Microsoft Word
One can build a complete application as a set of modules where each module comes from a different vendor/internet programmer and they inter-operate through common Web Interfaces such as VRML, HTML, JavaBean Rules
- So one person builds basic system; another the spell-checker; a third the fancy alphabet; another the graphics subsystem and so on!
