A brief history of Project WONDER. (Original source: html Introduction to Project WONDER).

History

  • A dotcom is born: eResource
  • Its focus: commercial real estate on the web
    • Big user & advocate of DirectToWeb — more on that later
  • Later on eResource was renamed NetStruxr
    • But name lives on...
    • Classes were already prefixed with ER
    • Switching to NS would cause namespace conflicts
    • Even today, WONDER's classes begin with ER
  • Folks from NetStruxr, now working on WONDER:
    • Patrice Gautier — one of DirectToWeb's original authors!
    • MaxMuller
    • TravisCripps
    • JimRoepcke
