Basic HTML version of Foils prepared 27 June 97 
| 1 | Web'97 is already quite elaborate at the client/browser side but still rather simplistic at the server side (base HTTP with CGI extensions). |
| 2 | New Java Frameworks (Enterprise, Media) bring new family of Java servers that will soon enforce the middleware and backend layers of the Web based computing environments. |
| 3 | At the moment, this domain is still populated by customized or/and proprietary servers (Netscape server family, Java Web Servers, RMI Servers, JSDA Session Servers etc.) but there is a new strong tendency to standardize the Web middleware around the CORBA paradigm. |
