CALL FOR PAPERS NLUUG Spring conference 2003 WEB APPLICATIONS Zen and the art of internet programming May 22, 2003, De Reehorst, Ede (Gld), Netherlands The internet hype is over. These days the web is a common way to order products, do banking and read the latest news. More and more users expect to find the information they need on the internet. Providers also see the advantages. Central application control with a globally accessible user interface creates new and unexpected opportunities. Development of good internet applications is not a simple thing. Fortunately, there are a lot of resources. This conference will provide an overview of the available languages, the tools that can be used to make applications work and the supporting middleware. From commercial systems that provide a complete solution to handy scripts that make daily maintenance a lot easier. The program committee is looking for presentations about positive and negative experiences with web applications, especially in a Unix environment. What are the problems that were encountered?
