Spin does not just create the same old web content with some fluff interaction, annoying flashing buttons, or other Internet features added like icing. Spin applications can access databases and legacy applications. Spin can also be used to create true distributed applications. Spin is the first and only standards-based IRAD environment. Applications developed with Spin can run on any Web server or any Web application server.
Spin works with other standards-based tools, including programming tools.
See the Spin overview page for a discussion of the features that make Spin unique. Today, applications are hand crafted, one at a time, the same way that machines were built before the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution introduced the idea of interchangeable parts. For example, an e-commerce application can be assembled from standard components, including product catalogs, shopping carts, and credit card processing. Component architectures not only make software easier and faster to build, they also make software more reliable, secure, and scalable.
