Default This seems pretty cool :-)

I've been reading thru the docs on the ModeZero site, and it seems like they've put a lot of work into emulating the ASP environment on the PPC. I like the fact that the ASP apps that you run on the PPC using this (ModeZero) doesn't require the additional overhead of a webserver.

On the desktop, to get around the same situation, there are embedded web-servers, like Cassini, etc., but this is a pretty cool approach also (better, as far as security and performance go, what with not having another layer between code and HTML).

Anyway - for people who are not into using eVB (or the new .NET Compact Framework, or eVC++), this would be a cool way to put out basic data-base driven applications that will work on multiple PPC platforms (ppc 2k and 2k2).

I remember playing with a product that used client-side JScript and ADOCE to enter data into databases (as part of the functionality), but I don't remember the name.

So anyway - for ASP developers out there trying to deploy database apps on their PPC, this seems like a cool idea.
