Um, yes.  But what does it mean to "modify" a resource?
Isn't this basically a huge oversimplification of reality?
It's basically saying all "resources" can be created

        foo = new WOComponent();

delivered

        foo.appendToResponse();

modified...
        
        that's where I'm struggling because that appears to be hidden protocol
        that's used to knock OO programming

deleted

        foo = null;

Maybe I'm not abstract enough to understand?

I think you've got the basic thing right -- the web is THE computing platform. Mainframes, desktops, client/servers etc. are legacy.

There's plenty of talk/buzz nowadays about the Web 2.0. What Web 2.0 really means is that people are beginning to realize that, in order to do computing on the web, we absolutely don't need those tool vendors (i.e. Microsoft, Oracle, Sun, IBM, etc.)

For any 'starting from a clean slate' software development effort, I think it would be rather foolish to go with anything other than the native web development. And by native I mean <a href="http:// jooto.com/blog/index.php/2006/08/03/transitioning-from-object- oriented-to-resource-oriented-programming/">Resource-oriented programming</a>.
