Automatically restructuring programs for the Web
Paul T. Graunke, Robert Bruce Findler, Shriram Krishnamurthi, Matthias Felleisen · 2005
The construction of interactive server-side Web applications differs substantially from the construction of traditional interactive programs. In contrast, existing Web programming paradigms force programmers to save and restore control state between user interactions. We present an automated transformation that converts traditional interactive programs into standard CGI programs. This enables reuse of existing software development methodologies. Furthermore, an adaptation of existing programming environments supports the development of Web programs.
