I've received the below questions from a friend who works for a large telecomm consulting firm with, in his words, "some pretty expert developers who are familiar with Java, HTML, CORBA, etc." Although general, his questions touch on subjects outside my own areas of expertise. Anyone care to take a shot at answering them, or to suggest resources where he might at least *start* finding answers? >>1) Here's the basic problem: >> >>How do you build a high performance, fast loading web interface that has the >>speed of HTML, but the screen design flexibility of Java applets? Also assume >>that you are in an environment where you are not able to pre-load plug-ins which >>would help the applet loading. >> >>Can XML help here? If so, this seems to be almost like solving world hunger for >>web developers. >> >>2) Extra credit question: >> >>Does XML have any possible relation to CORBA? I assume no, but I'm really >>beyond my level of understanding here. Although as I say I'm not sufficiently well-versed in Java and CORBA to answer his questions definitively, I sense -- from many of the discussions that have taken place here in the year-and-a-half I've been on the list -- that many of xml-dev's regular contributors won't blink twice before answering in the affirmative.
