Journal blinder's Journal: Part of the Problem 4

Journal by blinder on Tuesday July 20, 2004 @10:56AM

I know this is probably just semantics, in that in the modern world, words mean absolutely nothing... but I think I found part of the problem with /.

In searching sourceforge, i found this as the description for the slashcode project:

Slash is a database-driven web application server, using Perl, Apache and mySQL

Um, no. This is NOT an application server. It is a web application. Sheesh, this simple ignorance of what an application server *is* just maybe a real indication of who/what we have to deal with here.

An application server is a program/system that provides developers a platform to develop applications while providing services such as database connectivity, thread/resource pooling, performance analysis and logging (among others).

So, is there anyone who could possibly argue that slashcode *is* an application server????

Okay, I know. Who cares.

delivered in Milton [do I really have to link this?] [imdb.com] mumble. Well see I said it was a server and there was applications on it so it must be an application server becuase the applictions are there it only makes sense that the applications being there and the fact it's a server makes it an application server and and I won't move my applictions again....
