Serial Port Communication White Paper

[Dave Flowerday]

You know, I just thought of something else. IBM has this cool technology called Sash that I've read about. It basically uses simple languages like JavaScript and HTML to create what they call a "Weblication" which is really a full fledged program. A description from the IBM site:

Weblication is the IBM name for a Sash application that uses Web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and XML. Sash Weblications also take advantage of operating system functionality (file system, networking, and user interface). Sash Weblications are built using the Sash Weblications Developer Kit (WDK). The WDK makes it easy for you to develop and publish Sash Weblications on the Web

You probably don't want to start fresh on your project but you may want to check it out for future projects. I've personally never tried it but it sounds cool. It has the potential to make it easy to write GUI applications while still allowing you to work with the hardware (serial port, networking, etc.). Check it out at IBM's Sash site.

It's all free, BTW.
