Abstract

An environment for developing clientside/serverside code is disclosed. The environment supports programming in an event-driven paradigm while the execution of the resultant programs are executed in a serial execution paradigm. Through shielding the developer from complex scripting segments, the environment provides the developer with the suggestion that that resultant execution model is event-driven.

Claims

1-14. -14. (canceled).

15. A computer system for designing internet-accessible datasets comprising:

a processor;

a first storage that, in combination with said processor, provides a design space to a developer where the developer develops programs that call objects with methods and properties,

wherein said processor converts said programs from said design space into a runtime space in which said objects with methods and properties are represented as server-executable web pages and where a first page of said pages invokes a method or property from a second page of said pages.

16. The computer system according to claim 15, wherein said design space is an event-driven space.

17. The computer system according to claim 16, wherein said runtime space exists on a server that processes said web pages.

18. The computer system according to claim 16, wherein said runtime space becomes an interaction space when a remote client interacts with said server-executable web pages served by a server.
