Topic: Open RPGUI - The Intro

I have always been intrigued with how RPG can create modern looking applications – in particular, Internet browser based applications. Along with that I have found there is an art of sorts in getting RPG to talk with the browser and finding the right tools to use in doing that. This sessions describes the journey I took in my most recent open source solution titled “OpenRPGUI” (aka RPG User Interface). I will walk through the motions I took to discover what tools are available and how I put them together to create an easy to use framework (free and open source!!). Many things will be discussed including how to setup a simple Apache configuration, talk about the high-level concept of communicating with the browser, and how messages are passed back and forth.
