Alex Russell : netWindows
"has about as much to do with windows as a nail factory has with a house: one might help you build the other, but it's mere coincidence that a house got built and not a desk. At it's core, netWindows is a DHTML framework for component and code reuse. What does that mean from an applied standpoint? One of neater uses of this framework is to provide a way to create and use DHTML "widgets". Widgets need not be "windows" or "menus", but can include almost any part of a design that calls for reuse, abstraction, or data representation. In this way, netWindows can function as a display layer for web applications, letting them act more like applications and less like web pages. ... It's also modular to a fault, meaning that if you don't need a part of the system, it doesn't get sent down the wire."
