XSLTForms During the spring of this year 2009 I discovered *XSLTForms*. This was about two months I was looking for an effective way to improve a web application. I want this application to be easier to change depending on the wishes of users. Users are very demanding, an application must work well, be simple, be elegant, as it may be amended according to changing needs. I thoroughly immersed myself in the *XML *family. I know this family but I did not really asked her for something. This family seems nice to me, very well educated but I felt the need to spend too much time to be really intimate with her. I envisioned tools that would start from a schema to obtain the adequate SQL definitions and forms that go with it. In a while I had drafts of tables and pieces of forms but the link between tables and forms needed to be done by hand. *XForms *I knew existed, but I saw a great specification and examples that were there only to illustrate the future. I found tracks. as often when there are tracks we have not necessarily one that leads to the right place. Finally I discovered XSLTForms. I quickly exchanged many messages with Alain. I took the domain name web21th.com in April (instead of st th was not available). I did some experiments. Meanwhile I have done many other things with the Internet. Alain and I live in France, we phoned twice. I will from time to time to Paris to see the surfers. But I do travel for tourism or recreation, not to talk about serious things. I lost a lot of time in taxis, subways, parking lots, waiting rooms, conference rooms, customs aircraft for results often not interesting. In six months I was able to establish contacts with people from all continents and not only people of computer sciences. And almost every day I'm thinking this: but how I have not yet seen this information that would have simplified the lives of every day. The next step will be *XOrion *that may happen sooner than expected if everyone takes the time to think. *PS: I just discovered that **txs** was actually a little http server fairly complete*.
