Re: Lightweight application??

Hi there,

My understanding of a lightweight application is an application that is
relatively small, simple, and has a fairly narrow scope of
functionality.

An example of a lightweight application would be a text editor like
Notepad in Windows or a web site that provides a searchable product
catalog.

A counter to these examples would be a word processor like Word for
Windows or a web site with full e-commerce capabilities.

Bear in mind that this is just my opinion, I could be completely up the
garden path.


Cheers,
Brad
