This I understand 100%, and I hope to get there too.

My desktop app is a 3-tier app. I am used to such a system:
- program server modules for DB-intensive tasks and fast data throughput.
   (it's a server that listens on a socket).
- program a fat client for user interaction.

This can be done 100% rad.

I simply want to do the same for web
- Server is a webserver with module/fastcgi/whatever
- Fat Client is the browser, and Javascript.
The client is currently not yet 100% RAD, but we'll get there in the end :-)

There are many roads to follow.

Michael.
