Frankly, I originally had little desire to work on SAS/IntrNet with web
services. Don is the one that really talked me into how interesting it might
be. Once we got the thing operational with some very clever code from Don on
the backend, it not only clicked but it ran fast, fast, fast.
For those of you wishing to expose SAS programs out to users via simple web
pages, I highly recommend the approach we took on web services as well as
AJAX. Both use 3rd party technologies (in this case ASP.NET), but they are
relatively easy to set up and just scream performance wise.
Don is not only the guru here, he has a clear and compelling case for why it
should be done this way: I am a convert.

Alan, I was lucky enough to be able to review Don's SAS/IntrNet book
manuscript. Whoa! I thought that I was pretty SAS/IntrNet savvy; but, this
book from one of the original inventors of the SAS/IntrNet product blew my
little mind! Don has everything in the book--things that I already knew,
things that I struggled to figure out, and things that I still wanted to
know how to do. I would highly recommend it to any and all SAS-L-ers who
use SAS/IntrNet.
Alan, I'll continue to look forward to your interesting posts on the 'L.
I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
