Web-izing Your Current Applications
- Instead of trying to force-fit your application into HTML,
instead make use of HTTP as a remote procedure call.
- Your applications ship as operating system binaries, but
can access data and submit data to servers via the Web
- Example: Pizza ordering system.
- Application is written using normal GUI builder
- Logic to submit order now changed to send an HTTP request
to a server instead of do a database insert
- Logic to query orders now changed to send an HTTP request
to a server instead of doing a database query
