- The Tornado shell
- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- Hmm - this is the most difficult part of Tornado to define. I wonder if I can
- really. Essentially, the shell is the part of Tornado (written last BTW)
- which provides the 'front-end' of Tornado, the bit which the programmer will
- interface with. I can't really describe it, but essentially it is designed to
- take stress out of the programmer's life, and to automate as much as
- possible. The shell is comprised of SWIs, the data returned by the SWIs -
- urrgh, I can't really put it into words, really because I can't quantify it
- to myself. Put it this way - it's the bit which makes all of these wonderful
- features seem much easier than they do at present, and takes away a lot of
- the work normally associated with structuring the code of wimp apps.
-
- Fraid that's about it - when all the other stuff is done, I'll rewrite this
- and quote a few examples, 'cos I'll know then for certain that it's all
- written in stone, which I certainly don't right now.
-
- Yep, definately forgot lots of stuff here ... mutter mutter ... :-)
