After reading all the Direct to Web stuff I could get my hands on,
I was trying to describe to my boss why we need to be looking at it
and moving towards it. The metaphor I came up with was that D2W is
like CSS for objects. I think that sort of describes its power, but
I would be interested in how others make the argument for (ER)D2W
to non-programmers (or programmers for that matter!).
CSS for objects is a pretty good one-line answer.
A longer one would be that D2W lets you describe the meta
information about an object: How to format its data, how to label it,
what data should be editable, etc. It can then build user interface
from that description.
