RevConference - Client Server vs Stateless

[Jerry Daniels]

Jim,

Sorry you couldn't come to the show. Both Richard Gaskin and I 
presented on this subject and Chipp Walters showed an incredible 
commercial product (Hemingway client application) during his talk on 
user interface. We showed product, some code, a transaction log, and 
Richard did an impersonation of a client application talking to an FTP 
server (VERY entertaining, but even more informative!)

If there is demand out there (and it sounds like there may be) for a 
starter kit for building thin clients that "go against" web servers to 
get files and data from a database, I could try and make the time to 
put together a couple of samples with well-documented code, etc.

Also, please indicate the types of "nuts and bolts" into which you'd 
like to delve.

Best,

Jerry
