Abstract

In these lecture notes we present a novel toolkit to program web applications that have dynamic, complex behavior based on interconnect forms. This toolkit is the iDataToolkit. We demonstrate that it allows programmers to create web applications on a level of abstraction that is comparable with ‘ordinary’ functional style programs. By this we mean that programmers can develop data structures and functions in the usual way. From the data structures the iDataToolkit is able to generate forms that can be used in a web application. It does this by making use of advanced programming concepts such as generic programming. The programmer need not be aware of this.
