Re:I don't get it (Score 1)

We're Python fans too. Python is a great language and makes sense in many applications. At the same time it does not make sense for every developer in every project. We believe that many people will find NetHesive to be an easy and effective way of moving their applications onto their intranet or onto the web.

NetHesive is not necessarily part of the component-think that you reject so thoroughly. It is a way to communicate with a new or existing application over HTTP. We provide the functionality to *allow* developers to connect their projects to component frameworks, but it is not required in any sense.

Your disdain for components and web services is certainly justifiable for your work environment and your projects. NetHesive encourages flexibility by providing XML-over-HTTP functionality without locking the developer into any particular framework.

Perhaps you will better "get it" once we have our tools available online. It might be difficult for some people to understand how NetHesive simplifies development without seeing screenshots and other demonstrations.

As people interested in the way our product relates to the rest of the development world, we posted the /. article somewhat early in the release process. Your feedback has been extremely valuable; we look forward to introducing the release version of NetHesive in the coming months.
