If you have been around the programming world for a while, you may have some experience with languages such as Visual Basic, C++, or Java. These languages commonly provide desktop solutions, and over the years have had to expand their reach to include “enterprise” development. In order to accommodate the concepts of distributed programming, reusable software, and platform independence, languages were extended and programming structures were put into place. These additions include such things as Component Object Model (COM), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), Transaction servers and Application servers. Microsoft was quick to notice that a shift in development practices began with the introduction of Internet programming. The Internet necessitated some kind of common interface to be placed in front of the user. The software languages were struggling to provide scripted or interpreted environments that could run in a browser on every kind of platform. If you have ever had to work with plug-ins, browser incompatibility, slow scripted languages, or out-of-date runtime environments, you will understand the difficulties that developers faced over the past five years. |
