I've noticed that Real Basic are about to launch a web edition.
Went to their site expecting a web plugin requirement and found this:
'REAL Studio Web Edition apps run as a FastCGI on Apache.' !

No plugin so works on most default Apache set ups. As it's a cgi it will
work on Ipad, Iphone and most browsers.
Now I'm not a Real Basic fan but have to say that having the web version to
output FastCGI is pretty neat.
Surely this is a better way for RunRev to go for the web and avoid plugins
altogether. Wouldn't this open up the uses and market for RunRev?
Yes - I'd have to agree with you. Luckily we can get the same experience by
working with Revolution and Rodeo<http://rodeoapps.com/>. RunRev should

'never' is a rather strong word. It is entirely possible that the brainy
computery types
feel that way, but we workers down on the floor underneath the

think the plugin is a good thing as it is relatively easy to move
directly from a stack to
something that is web-browser-deliverable with a minimum of pain.
have put development effort into a plugin, it was always more sensible
to develop integrated revServer / JavaScript solutions, but this is not a
solution that RunRev with it's focus on the engine fully appreciated - I've
never felt they got the web. Of course some people love the plugin, it makes
me smile too,
What? condescendingly . . . or lovingly: I hope it is the latter . . . :)

Yes, indeed it will; both Thee and Me will be outdated, outmoded and
out-manouevred before
we even realise what has happened to us; that is why I feel pretty
uncomfortable about using words
such as 'never'.
- in 2 years time will we
be looking at a rich range of web apps using JavaScript, HTML / HTML5 as
their front ends or will lots of us be using a web plugin?
