The Limits of a Rich Web UI
Over the past couple of months, I?ve been working on a project implemented as a rich UI. The user interface is presented with Javascript, with the HTML generated on the fly. The info to present is generated by servlets and SOAP services. When I started, this type of UI was new to me, and I did not know Javascript. Now, I know pretty much enough, and can lookup the manuals for the rest...
I've been ranting on this for years now. One day you have a table of data. The next day someone asks can we interactively sort it. Then it becomes editing ... next thing you know you are trying to write an entire application in DHTML and Javascript and it is too late to get out.
