Re: Microsoft .NET frontending IBM i

Aaron,

if you build a non browser based app to an iPhone, the server it adresses
dosn't have
to download any thing to the client, it only has to deliver data from a
service (controller/
model) if we are talking in terms of MVC) The "view" is already downloaded
as binary
into the device.

My comment on browsers was a way to say - MS can't take it for granted that
the
client in the other end is build by MS, their activeX and/or AJAX strategy
(that dosn't
meet W3C standards) is becomming more and more a rope around their neck and
with a increasing number of "browsers" on different devices build by
companies at
merely the same size as them self, they have to fall back to standards to
survive .

I don't believe it *has* to be client centric - I believe that is a
choice based on how your framework is built. Obviously there needs to
be something delivered to the client, but you should be able to store
99% of all the controller logic on the server and only deliver UI
definitions to the client.

On the browser note, I am not sure what invoked that comment. Maybe
you could elaborate?

MS has also lost the fight about browsers, because browsers today is in

any

device
they just not have controle over anymore, does Google want a IE in their
Android, does
Apple want a IE in their iPhone/iPad - it would be "over their dead

body".
