This point, of course, which I quoted in my response to you:

>Would I build everything as an web browser app? Nah, complete applications aren't very proven yet (IMO), but if you leanr before they are (and they will be), you'll have an upperhand on all the "waiters"

It's interesting because you seem to be making the point that perhaps entire applications on the web aren't a proven technology yet.

That connected in my mind with Web Services allowing VFP apps to call components and pass data back and forth across the web easily with XML/SOAP/HTTP, and connected in my mind with Rick's tools now available to do the same.

I think that's an interesting approach to webifying apps without the web front end. I'm doing a hybrid solution with the bookstore project, where some of the management tools will run in a VFP app, but call across the web over HTTP. Most of the app, however, will run in the browser.
