Foil 18 How do you use Tango I?

From Introduction to Tango and its Role in Distance Education and Collaborative Computing EuroPar Java Grande Workshop -- September 2-3 1998. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Tango provides for any developer:
  • Session control among users
  • Access to broad range of general collaborative tools
  • API to JavaScript (Web Pages), Java Applet or Application, C and through C to any client side program (LISP, VRML)
If you have a set of Web pages defined by their URL's -- then use today the Shared Browser and later on can store in WebWisdomNT database for a more powerful model
If you have some enhanced Web Pages using Cookies and Forms (and wish say, to share form input), then we need to use shared JavaScript API -- we can provide this as general capability
If you wish to share server side results as in Lotus Notes (or CGI Scripts), then exploit web export of these servers -- XML very powerful here -- with a variant of shared browser
