Thoughts on Web Programming

     Since I worked in high-energy physics, I have had experience in web programming probably longer than most. I made my first web application in 1995 -- a web-based logging form for the NuTeV experiment at Fermilab, done as a Perl CGI. Since then I have also made numerous commercial web applications at Excite@Home and Earthlink -- including wireless web applications server WML, interactive TV applications, and web services.
