This report provides detailed advice on the
migration from traditional character-based to
modern web-based user interfaces.
The report opens by assessing whether a
migration to web-based interfaces meets the
requirements for specific projects. It then
presents two architectural scenarios, before
providing an in-depth discussion of the typical
steps involved in implementing a web-based user
interface. Some additional implementation issues
such as security, the tracking of user sessions,
standardisation and the rapid pace of change in the
industry are also covered.
The reader is then briefed on current
web-technologies including HTML, Cascading Style
Sheets, DHTML, XML, CGI, Java, JavaScript/ JScript
/ ECMAScript, ActiveX, VBScript, ASP and persistent
cookies.
The report is rounded off by a collection of
both general and specific guidelines and
recommendations for making technology and
implementation strategy choices. Detailed advice is
provided on how to satisfy some common requirements
for this type of migration project.
