You take your pick of one of the following subjects...
Tinkertoy Software Construction.
Abstract :
A debian box comes with 20000 packages. You don't need to write
software anymore,you just need synaptic, apache and a glue language,
ie. (Ruby/Perl/Python).
You don't need a gui framework, it's called "A Browser". You don't
need an installer, it's called "an URL". You
don't need to deliver updates, you just clip a new version of your
script to the web server and everyone is upgraded. Worked example
of clipping web server + ruby + gnuplot + ??? together. Requests
taken in advance.
