We hope this and future articles will be useful as a tool and as a guide for the faithful.<BR/><BR/>Yes! Again, the problem is how to convince everybody and their dog to take that first bite. My own experiences with eXist and XForms have been *very* liberating, and I appreciate your efforts in spreading the word. I hadn't really considered the way a non-translational approach shifts emphasis from technical to business needs and user experience, but this makes a lot of sense.<BR/><BR/>I would be hesitant to write off ODBMS's however; I expect that as the simplicity of document-oriented stacks like XRX, JSON/CouchDB and the like start getting real traction, a simultaneous discovery of the power of continuation-based architectures like Seaside/Squeak will take place, chipping away at the 3-tier model from the other side.<BR/><BR/>Really looking forward to future articles in this series!piershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01542635131280325135noreply@blogger.com
