I can understand one rationale for keeping the controller a webapp, which is just that you don't have to install anything on the client machine (esp useful for things like pdas, I would guess).
But the user already has to install a server, so why not give them a native app to run the thing on? I'm not a huge java fan, but doing it in java would make the platform support relatively easy. IME, it's a lot easier to get stand-alone apps to do interesting new things than it is with web apps. I never have to do front end programming for real, so I realize that my experience isn't necessarily worth much :). But all my prototype guis these days are straight C#, and I don't miss having to f&^% around with tomcat or whatever to get out a prototype demo. -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32104 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
