How Can You Web-ize Your Applications in Smalltalk?
- Client HTTP toolkits now becoming available from Microsoft,
Spyglass, Terisa, etc. - expect Smalltalk wrappers for these soon.
- Server HTTP toolkits now becoming available from the same
companies - expect Smalltalk Web features to make use of these
in the future - worse case is that CGI-BIN interfaces are at least
functional if not overly efficient.
- Redesign your application to obtain data or execute transactions
using HTTP requests.
