Re: Web sites vs web applications

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Given the context of the article Dino may be alluding to the breakdown of a
web site into a possible set of service applications. In the AJAX world of
course, any self contained application, or application within a larger web
site exposed correctly can offer service and thus be a web application to
which an AJAX consumer can subscribe. so site offer interaction where
applications offer service. In this more generic context you dont need to
know about the whole web site to use the applications within it, and so
applications and sites can probably be seen as very different things. Thats
my philisophical take on it!

Hi all,

I'm sure most of us round here have heard of Dino Esposito - *very* well
respected in our industry...

I was reading an article of his in this month's VSJ entitled "Architecture
guidelines for ASP.NET AJAX applications", where he outlines his
definition of the difference between web sites and web applications - you
can read it here:
http://www.itarchitect.co.uk/articles/display.asp?id=351 - scroll right
down to the bottom...

I was quite surprised by what he wrote!

Maybe he's not talking specifically about VS.NET 2005 and the website
model vs the web application model because, if he is, then I have to say
that I'm pretty much in total disagreement with him!

I'd be interested to know what others think...

Mark
