WinForms over Web - A unique approach to AJAX development
There is a really good article posted on programmers-tech explaining Visual WebGui's Web Development platform uniques approach and benefits for developing web applications.
"Visual WebGui a unique approach to AJAX development
Visual WebGui is not just another AJAX framework but rather
a different approach to web application development,
specially designed to simplify building highly complex
applications like Outlook Web Access (OWA). Visual WebGui
makes it possible for developers to create applications that
were previously developed only by the "big guys". While web
development environments such as ASP.NET and JSP have made
huge strides in creating a rich environment for developing
web applications, they have always targeted a very wide
range of applications from content rich sites to OWA like
applications. By doing so, they forced a compromise that was
very painful for applications developers. Concepts like
pages, html, requests and responses, which originated from
the historical evolution of web development, are not really
suitable for developing applications.
Visual WebGui uses a proven application development toolset that was designed for application development from the outset. Visual WebGui’s methodology – Winforms over Web (WOW) - originates from environments like MFC and the popular Visual Basic environment."
