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 ... :-)
